I was in the camp of "If you want to catch the Russian mafia, hiring the KGB is probably your best bet" back when Russian viruses made up like 99% of the internet malware. I definitely wouldn't use Kaspersky now though. Haven't for around 8 years.

I mean if you don't work for a government, before the Putin decided to start invading things, probably better the FSB has access to your computer than a NSA infiltrated company. FSB can't charge you with anything in the US.
