What of Kaspersky now?

Barclays gave it to us some years back. I became concerned that the world would be vulnerable to the whim of one man. I stopped using it and this is after sorting some problems that Barclays specific department finally conceded I was right and sent me two lots of 25 quid for my input.

Now, Mr Kaspersky is britting shicks. To keep data safe he has to be able to get into his customer's deepest vaults. Hmmmm. Okay, British banks used to let me into their buildings - one even gave me the front door key of a city bank so that I could work on a Sunday. I never saw another soul. Anyway, trust is needed but this particular bloke worked for the NSA. It all came out into the open.

The top anti virus for several years. I'd say the company was now worth a small fraction of where it was 2 years ago. I'm having talks with Barclays starting tomorrow.
