The American media published a new batch of revelations from Snowden: Western intelligence agencies tried to disrupt Kaspersky Lab’s antivirus programs

American Information Portal The Intercept published another batch of revelations from a runaway CIA (NSA) employee Edward Snowden. If you believe the information published, then the US and British intelligence agencies have tried and are still trying to gain access to the program materials of Kaspersky Lab in order to introduce malware into this software, which reduces anti-virus protection to zero. In addition, the goal was to gain access to the personal data of the laboratory's clients.

Information Agency TASS publishes a translation of a fragment of a publication in the American edition:

The British intelligence service aimed to impede the operation of the Kaspersky software using the technology of so-called reverse engineering software (ORPO). The NSA also studied the Kaspersky Lab software for its vulnerability in order to obtain confidential information from customers.

The submission says that the American and British intelligence agencies are concerned that the anti-virus complex of Kaspersky Lab is a serious obstacle in their path to obtaining confidential information about users. From the material The Intercept:

Security products, such as Kaspersky’s Russian antivirus software, continue to be a problem for DSPs, and ORPO is necessary in order to be able to use such software and prevent unauthorized activity from being detected. The study of Kaspersky and other similar products continues.

В Kaspersky Labs stated that they can only regret that Western intelligence agencies do not want to focus on combating real offenders in the Internet, and are trying to undermine programs that protect millions of computers from unauthorized access and malware infection.

This means that not everything is in the teeth of the NSA and the British. And "Kaspersky Lab" develops good products. I have had their "Kaspersky Anti-Virus" for a long time. Works fine.

I thought that the west of the United States was Western and Kaspersky found them cunning !!!)))

Article for not smart? Kaspersky company has long been owned by investors from SSH-AM !!

[Mahmut]

For some reason, the article does not say a word that the attack on the Kaspersky Lab server failed. All this anti-virus laboratory products are designed to counter small hooliganism. Failed programmers who decided to become famous for small dirty tricks. When the masters of the extra class take up the task of creating the virus, then any protection bursts at the seams.

This is the best, we can say the perfect advertisement for Kaspersky. Therefore, there are great doubts about the credibility of this information.

Yes, you just have to remember - I got online, so I put everything on my computer to the whole world. And antiviruses are bullshit, if initially "someone else's dark" system and tools for it and the rest of the software. Yes, and "honestly" grunt without a penny of payment. The grandfather's way from small hooligans - the image of the system disk and five minutes to smoke without a computer once every couple of months (well, or when you feel something wrong). And those who need to keep secrets should keep them without the Internet. And Casper did not like initially - it eats computer resources like a pig slop. There is more harm than good from such protection (from what?). Article advertising ... Well, it happens.

If I’m not mistaken, then Kaspersky is connected with the FSB. If the USA and Great Britain succeeded in what they needed, we would become Ukraine, and possibly roll back in 90 years. It should be understood that Kaspersky is not sitting on ideots, but professional programmers who know their job. Nobody is afraid of the West. I guess that Kaspersky only said thank you for this attack. They will analyze the situation, the malware, make some changes and continue to work. Here, as in war, the enemy gives out his actions, his methods, etc. by his actions.

That's what the calculation is for. It is very similar to Kaspersky's advertising, and this despite the fact that there are a number of Russian antiviruses that are no worse, or even better than Kasper.

It may work well - in the sense of viruses and other harmful programs it catches, but it slows down the system in black, the program itself is only thirty-two bits, and the interface can be primitive and inconvenient. In addition, after its removal, the native Windows antivirus stopped working, absolutely ... It's strange that in general the Windows did not crash.
Various lovers wrote such programs on sinclair twenty years ago, that's where it all comes from ...

Maybe it works well

All antiviruses do not work very well.
For example, modifications of ransomware-Trojans are skipped.

You can put an antivirus-firewall-system locker, but the average blonde will not be able to configure it.

To completely protect yourself from viruses, you need to change the concept of working with a computer: the Internet is a separate comp sandbox with download from a USB flash drive for reading.
Work (corporate) - through the shell, where the letters are automatically processed and brought to their "own" format. No Internet.

Once, once I installed Kaspersky Anti-Virus for myself, I began to junk the computer, then I barely deleted it! I have nothing against Kaspersky antivirus, but that was what happened.

Was Casper real or from a network with keys? I have been using it since 2010, there are no complaints.

[Falcon]

Kaspersky is really the pride of Russia! He created himself from scratch, without any privatization and collateral auctions, a powerful corporation. More of these are needed.

[Juborg]

The campaign is undergoing an open war against Russia, informational, economic, subversive on a confessional basis, environmental, in short, everything has been put into action, except for open military aggression and nuclear bombing. It’s hard, especially when you consider that the Central Bank is a branch of the US Federal Reserve, and the whole oligarchy is under the hood of the same Fed and all our assets too.

The war just started because Russia led the fight against the US Federal Reserve and began to refuse not only American securities, but also seeks to settle with other countries in national currencies. And this is a very hard blow to the American financial pyramid and a catastrophic blow to the consequences for the American oligarchs. They are already used to the fact that the whole World as slaves began to work for the Americans and it will not be easy to wean them from this habit.

[hohkn]

Danilovsky antivirus loads the system less. I’ve been using it for ten years now. Also a great antivirus.

[SPLV]

Once I used the Web. only a couple of years ago he began to block the VO site. And this year, it generally bogged down and stopped working, and so on until the demolition of the system. And not on one computer, but also on workers, the licenses are different. CPU utilization up to 95% - 100%. This is about the load on the system. Previously, Casper always alternated with the Web, changed after a year. While I use Baidu, but more and more desire to learn Linux.
By the way, when Casper alternated annually with the Web, when demolishing and installing a new antivirus, Trojans, worms, and other evil spirits were always found after each other. So this is the same struggle of armor and shell, but the succession of successes got it. Full protection only in fiction. It seems that there is another option, on the advice of a friend you can completely demolish the OS every few months and not use antiviruses at all. But this is not for everybody ...

Kaspersky Lab said that they can only regret that Western intelligence agencies do not want to focus on fighting real intruders in the vastness of the Web, but they try to undermine programs that protect millions of computers from unauthorized entry and malware infection.

In my opinion, eating too many resources !!!! It is as if you are downloading a continuous stream of something from the network, it checks all this, and then you delete it indefinitely. In general, I do not use this program and I will not. She herself (the program) by herself, someone's spy.

Advertising is expanding .. my plus you experienced a very similar

[CONTROL]

In fact, "Kaspersky Lab" is a child of the KGB! And it spies on those "for whom it is necessary" not worse than other antiviruses and "security"!
So - it's just "braid on a stone", "comb on comb" ...
... it’s naive to think that you can’t spy on any user, you can hide behind an antivirus ... It's just that the vast majority of us are not needed by those who do this.

Kaspersky does not allow amers to delve into the computers that it protects, of course this is a huge problem for them.

A couple of years ago, a son was kidnapped from Kaspersky, like, pay-back. On the SECOND (!) Day, the Office took up the kidnappers, they found it instantly. Then a message slipped through, according to the law, the search begins only on the third day and this is the prerogative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The casket opened simply - Kaspersky works at MO.

There is no panacea, but it's worth striving. My recipe: NOD + OutPost + Mozilla FireFox with a "body kit" + do not climb where it is not necessary. And really, it works;)

[Aleksey_K]

I will not argue with anyone. Everyone has their own opinion and everyone is somehow right about anti-virus programs. Itself worked under Kaspersky, and under Doctor Web, and NOD, etc. All packages are good for something and bad for something. But none of them caught installing the Chinese antivirus and even a bunch of Chinese programs when I tried to install a free program. Then he cleaned his computer from Chinese crap for several hours. I came across this lure several times. Well on the Internet there are very good people who solve such problems and offer their turnkey solutions.
And for those who believe in antivirus programs, I want to say the following. Many probably saw how Windows, when it is unloaded, suddenly displays a message that it is not necessary to turn off the computer, because installation of updates will begin. And this is already with disabled network programs. Only the network cable is connected. And if Windows does not need a connection to the provider to download updates, then believe me, it means that the special services only need to have a network cable connected to the computer. And if there is Wi-Fi on the computer, then the cable is not needed, your computer is always connected to special services, even if you didn’t go online.
They may object to me, they say you can turn off Wi-Fi, and who told you that it turns off completely. Maybe you developed it and you know everything about it? And access points are now in almost every apartment and they are always on.
Conclusion: As soon as you turn on your computer, you are already visible to the special services, even if the OS has not yet booted.

How are updates related to anti-virus applications?
Installing updates on shutdown, just like on startup, is due to the fact that not all files can be updated during the operating mode - they are simply locked.
As for the special services, which "see" the computer without loading the OS - well, this is paranoia.
Tracking the activity of a network card is not difficult. And this would have been known for a long time - there are plenty of people willing to grab the special services by the "tail".
