Onbody protection was never really expected seems they have this feature i feel the kaspersky team do anything too win

i wanted too buy the industrial grade Security for me Financial domination & defense are connected as buying medicine is top priority when am in a rush the point i am making should be crystal clear i am all or nothing if i get that desperate that i am going die because of medical neglect i don't care what you think i rather prison then death i hate fraud do not lie too me

They have always given me lower pricing & yandex Security has done the same for me
given my life was in danger i have paid for 10 fold for it

AS i expected a bank can't see the money making so it is easy for a trained hacker too hijack a bank card use it for hidden crime

Bank cards in the uk have no Security at all you don't even need a pin code too use it
and nfc reader can easily go wrong turns out bot detection isnt good either criminals favorite tool for crime

UV lights exist & drug detection investigation surveillance
enhanced interrogation techniques for profit plus finding crime

Yes i really did mean it RedPill was impressive but a dead person can't give real answers
lie detector & polygraph should work on must people
chinese water torture the must safest way get answers
i blame obstruction of justice i blame robbery

    I remembered Kaspersky internet security personally has worked the best for me over the years
    The main reason I think Kaspersky internet security is the best is because Kaspersky internet security from my experience don't break the functionality of apps & games etc it's just in general I had less problems with software when using Kaspersky internet security
    It's important for a internet security try not break other programs from working as intended

      Blackberry? We choose smartphones for a hundred reasons, starting by enjoying the internet fully, having good quality cameras, good quality sound, watching movies occasionally, playing games on decently big screens...

      Blackberry is only good at faster typing. If any. In fact I heard that Blackberry is dying like Nokia.

      If we have to bear with malware... that's the price to pay for the best system at the moment, such as Windows.

        I agree with you GSMArena staff, all competitive OS'es have some sort of approval/ signing procedure.

        Even Nokia has a system that unsigned apps can't be installed at all unless your phone is hacked, which is again a rare occurrence...


        I think that instead of "Signing Apps" they should "Sign Developers" based on their reputation and past products. And a developer's certificate is banned if spam apps are created.
        This way, workload will be lesser for signing authorities.

                    "Kaspersky antivirus and security software are available already in OVI store."


                    Yeap, and with the malware and viruses "confirmation" now, Kaspersky's sales will hit the roof! How convenient for them :) Lets not forget the burden on the OS!

                            if u guys are so scared of malwares and viruses then stop downloading stupid a** apps like "fart sound" or better yet just stop using any type of computer or electronic device and pick up the ways of an amish. I have been using android for a while now and never had any issues with said malware and viruses. I stick to apps and games with good rating that i need and actually require. If you pay for an app that u actually use then that furthermore minimizes the risk of getting viruses because no developer would want to put up an app on market place which they make money from and risk losing it all over malware or encrypting apps with viruses to make peoples life miserable. Just realize that this indeed is JUST news to keep people talking and create a way of marketing. Im sure malwares do exist among many apps but if u use ur brain and a little common knowledge u and ur device will me more then ok.

                                        To be honest malwares pretty much everywhere, as long as you don't download stuff that's got bad ratings on the market and obviously if it looks shite, you'd be alright AND kaspersky? riiight, they're reputable aren't they? ;)
