Log your active application and its window titlebar title and disk path, and submit them all to Kaspersky. Log all applications you have installed on your computer, and their disk paths, and submit them all to Kaspersky. They say this is for anti-virus, and I believe them, but it's still creepy and LOWERS your security since their FAKE certificate replaces the REAL website certificates, which in turn makes your browser unable to detect any certificate problems with the REAL certificate (for example, the browser cannot detect fraudulently replaced certificates on the actual website, since the browser always only sees Kaspersky's fake certificate instead of what the site really presented). Which means that Kaspersky's program sees everything you do online. They literally hijack all browser connections to secure sites (such as banking), remove the real encryption, re-encrypt it with the Kaspersky root certificate, and present it to the browser. Installing a root certificate on your computer which allows them to impersonate and intercept any secure website in the world, which is how they are able to intercept HTTPS (banking, payment etc) traffic. Intercept all website traffic (including HTTPS) and analyze the page contents, including injecting some Kaspersky JavaScripts into them to allow their various browser "protections" to do their job.

Analyzed for marketing purposes and for website security ratings. Log all website URLs you visit, and submit them all to Kaspersky. Log your computer name, username, list of installed devices and drivers and processors and serial numbers etc, and submit them all to Kaspersky. Here is what the Kaspersky products WILL do with your computer:Īssign a uniquely identifying ID to your computer so that they know who all data comes from.Ĭollect data about you which they are free to use for ANY marketing purposes, including selling the data to other companies. and indeed, there are a lot of naughty things in the policies you all agree to when installing the product.

I actually spent around 20 minutes reading them entirely, because I knew that "free" always has some catch. I installed Kaspersky Security Cloud Free yesterday and I actually READ the terms of service and privacy policies, and their "Data processing for marketing purposes" agreement. Always remember: There is no such thing as "Free" commercial software.
