     @gamingonlinux if it doesn't do the famous pig sound, and doesn't sell your data to Russian government, then it's not Kaspersky

     @a1ba @gamingonlinux @lcruggeri Yeah, specially when the exploitable security problems on linux are basically all fixed with updating your packages for the vast majority of users (and then devs should use sandboxes, I do for npm for example).
     
     Plus the classic of avoiding the hell out of questionable software, which Kaspersky entirely is, specially given how much https://www.kaspersky.co.uk/blog/kvrt-for-linux/27662/ declares it's scanning.

     @a1ba @gamingonlinux @lcruggeri By the way, the OpenSSL 1.1.1y shipped in it is vulnerable to two CVEs fixed in 1.1.1x (or the more reasonable 3.0+ branches)
