   Kaspersky blacklisted my keys after 3 years free service. And their 2015 programs don't have hacks. Any suggestions on a good internet security program?

   Over the decades, I've discovered that most, if not all, virus scanners are in fact viruses themselves. They create viruses and trojans and r00tkits on your machine so they they can "detect" them and come through as the hero of the story and try to force you into upgrading your subscription at a cost through scare tactics. The best way to protect your machine is to get a rule-based software firewall set to manual alerts and blocking anything and everything both ways to start, building a permissions framework as you go.

   I'm not computer savvy like most people on this site. I download too much shit (music,movies,programs, etc) not to have a security software.. Anyways,I never pay for those security software.

   You just have to get the cracked executable which bypasses the "call-home" routines. But even then, the cracked executable could have a "call-home" and a backdoor in it. hue-hue-hue

   I fucking hate virus scanners, always cramping my style by flagging my tools and malware kits and shit. I use Avast by the way it's good save for having beef with infosec tools.

   When they find shit on your computer, they log your IP and phone home with the info, even if you turn off reporting in the options. They're basically just as bad as the spyware they are supposed to protect you from.

   It's been going on for decades. They sell all that hard info off to the cyber feds and various threat discovery labs. You may eventually be investigated.

   You don't even scare me though, i'll start to worry when i see proof. Besides my malware skills aren't even worth investigating. I did however obtain a sample of source code from the Rombertik malware to analyze, holy crap the guy that made that is pretty brilliant as far as malware writers go if you're interested in that sort of thing cisco did an excellent report on it which you can read here if you'd like.

   And really spectral all my links are safe you can just click it and if you don't trust me google: [h=1]Threat Spotlight: Rombertik[/h] To get to the article it's very interesting and i think you'll like it if you're into that sort of thing.
