[edit] POV
I removed the following statement as I see it as POV until someone can back up this statement with documentation from the anti-virus industry. I never heard of this s/w until now although I'm not basing my objection solely on that but more on an unsubstantiated claim.
"Kaspersky is acknowledged to be one of the best virus scanners."

I read Virus forums and it is mentioned as a good virus scanner. Also have a look here: http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/archives/products.xml
I think Kaspersky is generally accepted as the scanner with the highest detection rates, pretty hard to find a test where it participates and is not on top. If only it weren't so slow ;-) I think it is at least ok to say it is "one of the scanners with the highest detection rates". Best is too arguable (I don't use it because of the speed reason, to give an example).
- The slow scanning speed is probably due to the fact the scanner is doing a very thorough check of the system. Some would say it's a trade-off for good protection and detection. --TonyW 00:46, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Eugene has never been a virus writer
I know Kaspersky, and he has been a cryptographer, and studied mathematics at some fairly secretive places, but he has never had to be a virus writer.
[edit] Merge Eugene Kaspersky here
Unless someone cites reliable sources that Eugene Kaspersky did something notable other than what is his company's article, I'll merge him to here after a week. Thank you. -- Perfecto 01:08, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- It's been a while so I've done it for you. Eugene Kaspersky now redirects here. Barrylb 19:34, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] TopTenReviews Award seems questionable
Does anyone actually know the reputation of this source? There are many other sites that provide much better reviews,
http://www.av-comparatives.org/ is a good example. They provide a detailed contact address.
VirusBulletin and ICSA Labs are also much more reputable.

[edit] Deletions: it read like bad copy
I deleted nearly all of the first paragraph. Much of it had been written to promote Kaspersky, and hence doesn't belong in this entry. The phrases which followed 'according to' etc. should be footnoted. Any objections? Marabunta 23:07, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Offline
I can't connect to kaspersky's website...
Could anyone else confirm...

[edit] Roll back vs. Restore Point
What is the difference between roll back and your standard restore point? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.52.215.67 (talk) 01:12, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
