Quote:The allegation is that Kaspersky Lab had select employees purposely inject bad code into normal, common files, so that its competitors could pick them up as malicious, and in the worst case, delete them from a user's PC. That could result in broken software or perhaps even a broken operating system.

I believe I saw reports that the U.S. government now prohibits Kaspersky on any government machine - due to privacy concerns.
