His statements single-handedly changed my perception of the brand "Kaspersky" from "respected maker of Windows antivirus software" to "worse than Microsoft AIDS"
Agreed. Way to screw your business up good and proper. I'm sure Kaspersky is still effective antivirus, but I sure as hell won't be evaluating it now. Remarkable how few corporate antivirus programs combine not creepy, effective, and reasonably resource-friendly. Now I'm down to F-Prot, Sophos, ESET and Avira. Clam's not bad (I use it at home and on mailservers) but I need something with realtime scanning, backed by a company that's been doing it for a few years.
Then again, I wasn't really in his potential customer pool to begin with
I am, I specify my company's antivirus solution. Kaspersky got crossed off my list to replace the McAfee crap we're dumping. I think I'm probably going to choose F-Prot, it's a highly competent product and I think my government screwed over the lovely little country of Iceland unnecessarily last year: I'd like to make some kind of amends for that.
