The Wall Street Journal reports that hackers working for the Russian government were able to access “highly classified” National Security Agency documents after a worker for the agency opened them on a computer using Kaspersky products.
Two years ago, the computer doctor I took my notebook to installed Kaspersky on my computer. I didn't know at the time WTF was going to happen so I figured they knew what they were doing.
I'm in the market for a new notebook. Anyone got a strong opinion about a MacBook?
La_Signora Quarantanova has a MacBook Air, a thing of such industrial design majesty that it almost makes entering the Apple walled gulag attractive to me.
We had Kaspersky anti-virus on our first server in 2002. Coupla years later our network consultant pointed out that we'd been hacked, although not in a way that disrupted our work. There were a few directories on the hard disk whose nonsense-character names appeared in blue italic text. The consultant couldn't remove 'em and I couldn't either. Since we were a (very small) defense contractor, it now seems probable that the bad guys did this.
Tech explainer Leo Laporte, to whom I |listen |on occasion, says that nobody should use antivirus software. My own experience with Norton Antivirus on a network was a bit of a nightmare. It digs in deep in a lot of processes and is hard to remove.

It's actually on the shelf, replaced by a Mac Mini.
