Kaspersky My friend has Kaspersky as his antivirus; I've always been under the impression that it's HORRIBLE. That impression became certain when I looked at this computer and Kaspersky said he had 44 viruses. I didn't believe Kaspersky so I ran Malwarebytes (after I had to make Kasperky unblock the .exe because it said it was a Trojan). Malwarebytes returned nothing. Next I ran Microsoft security essentials, again kaspersky thought it was a Trojan so I had to unblock). MSE returned nothing. I also ran AVG and Trend Micro with the same results. I then did a clean install on that computer (there request) and installed Kaspesrky, on a clean install it said it had 65 infections.
Why did Kaspersky make up all this junk about infections? Has this ever happened before? Also, Kaspersky did the almost the same thing on about 5 of their other computers, and all my antivirus found nothing. | My System Specs |

I'm guessing Kaspersky are wanting them to keep their subscription by fear. If MSE says it's clean, then I'd trust that as clean, especially if AVG agreed. Are you sure it's really Kaspersyky and not some company trying to sell fake antivirus? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number [NEW PC :D] HP Pavilion p6565uk OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU AMD Phenom II X6 1035T @2.6GHz (hexacore) (=15.6GHz) Motherboard FOXCONN (2AA9) Memory 6GB DDR3-1333 (running at 1066) Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GT 230 (1.5GB) Sound Card Realtek HD Audio (with 5.1 surroundsound always on) Monitor(s) Displays HP 2311x (primary), Sharp LL-T1620-H (secondary) Screen Resolution 1924x1080 Keyboard Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 2000+ HP Media Centre Remote Mouse Microsoft Wireless Mouse 2000 PSU 500W Case Stock HP one that came with it, mid-size ATX Cooling Stock fans, they're fairly quiet.

They said it's kaspersky, and they had the box. I don't think a company could get away with making a fake CD, box, program, and and all that. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 8100 OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit CPU Intel Core i7 860 @ 2.80GHz Motherboard Dell Inc. 0T568R Memory 8.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 529MHz 4-7-7-20 Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 5770 Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays 3 Widescreen HD Monitors Screen Resolution 1600x800 Keyboard Logitech Illuminated Keyboard Mouse Logitech MX PSU 750W Case - Cooling Fans Hard Drives 1000GB Seagate ST31000528AS (SCSI)

Well some fake windows 7 discs have apparently been floating around eBay, but yeah I suppose physical fake antivirus discs would be a bit far fetched 
Apparently kaspersky has a higher detection rate than most, but given that you ran it on a clean install I guess it's just trying to be too over-protective | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number [NEW PC :D] HP Pavilion p6565uk OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU AMD Phenom II X6 1035T @2.6GHz (hexacore) (=15.6GHz) Motherboard FOXCONN (2AA9) Memory 6GB DDR3-1333 (running at 1066) Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GT 230 (1.5GB) Sound Card Realtek HD Audio (with 5.1 surroundsound always on) Monitor(s) Displays HP 2311x (primary), Sharp LL-T1620-H (secondary) Screen Resolution 1924x1080 Keyboard Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 2000+ HP Media Centre Remote Mouse Microsoft Wireless Mouse 2000 PSU 500W Case Stock HP one that came with it, mid-size ATX Cooling Stock fans, they're fairly quiet.

Apparently riskware is standard applications that have security flaws. By that definition though, Microsoft Windows could be considered riskware given the amount of security flaws found in it (but I'm sure just as many would be found in other operating systems if they had the userbase for crackers/hackers to bother) 
So yeah, sounds like Kaspersky is being incredibly over-cautious. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number [NEW PC :D] HP Pavilion p6565uk OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU AMD Phenom II X6 1035T @2.6GHz (hexacore) (=15.6GHz) Motherboard FOXCONN (2AA9) Memory 6GB DDR3-1333 (running at 1066) Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GT 230 (1.5GB) Sound Card Realtek HD Audio (with 5.1 surroundsound always on) Monitor(s) Displays HP 2311x (primary), Sharp LL-T1620-H (secondary) Screen Resolution 1924x1080 Keyboard Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 2000+ HP Media Centre Remote Mouse Microsoft Wireless Mouse 2000 PSU 500W Case Stock HP one that came with it, mid-size ATX Cooling Stock fans, they're fairly quiet.
