[nfbcs] Kaspersky Anti-virus Vulnerability

[Jack Heim]

Somebody asked about the accessibility of Kaspersky anti-virus recently 
and I didn't want to highjack the thread. But please be advised that the 
Wall Street Journal published a story yesterday saying taht Kaspersky 
Labs anti-virus was the door Russian hackers used to get into the NSA 
last summer.

An anti-virus program is supposed to make a list of the files on your 
computer and keep track of when they change, etc. It's just not supposed 
to tell Russian hackers about it.
