Whats adguard DNS?
given that Kaspersky is in a lot of trouble right now, it seems safe to keep away from anything related to it.
Reason for being a past customer?
Best Antivirus to use?

I didn't originally buy a subscription. I got it from someone who took the multi sub option. I did renew after it expired though after reading how it finds stuff that even other popular anti-viruses can't find from review sites.

It can be a good idea to stop using Kaspersky Antivirus.
I think using Kaspersky Antivirus may make it harder for American Kaspersky Antivirus users to get help from their local police, or the FBI if a Kaspersky Antivirus user's computer gets hacked and data was stolen because of a security problem in Windows, Flash, Java, etc. The police may say it is the user's fault for using Kaspersky software, and say they warned the public many months ago, and say they can't help.
Plus, using Kaspersky and other Russian software may make a user a target for criminal investigations by the US government for possibly being a Russian spy or soldier living in the US.
It's unbelievable that both of you are actually buying into the propaganda presented by the mainstream media all the time.
The only reasonable thing I can find here is the fear for being arrested, but that's all part of the whole thing: fear-mongering.
The deep state are really more dangerous hackers than anyone else, so it's amusing to see you want to get help from the FBI after getting hacked (not to mention that the police generally doesn't give a single shit about people getting hacked).
And seeing the current practises by the western governments, the FBI will tell you that "the Russians did it"™ as their default answer, and won't show you any shred of evidence to back their "research" up.
I'm not defending Russia nor USA here, just helping you understand that what you hear from officials is far from reality.

Computer owners can get in trouble for not reporting computer crimes to the police if the computer contains the address, credit card info, phone numbers, and passwords of other people like store customers, website members, and students at a school. If someone stole a victims files containing their identity information, not reporting the crime may get them in trouble if someone uses their identity to commit a crime like scamming people online with their stolen e-mail account and social networking accounts.
Installing Kaspersky on someone computer may also get a user arrested since the police can arrest the user for spreading spyware and malware since the government warned people that Kaspersky is untrustworthy. The government can arrest a Kaspersky user thinking they are a Russian spy trying to steal information from computers installed in different locations in the US.

But do you still use it?
That article seems to lack any proof that expels what got the software in hot water in the first place.
Oh, I didn't know you were actually mandated to report this kind of stuff in the US.
At least it shows that hacking cases are being taken more seriously there than here.
But the points you make are fair enough.
They've released the source code to independent review orgs, that's the most that can expel the claims because if it would actually do what the US government claims it can do, they would get in trouble by showing the source code to at least 1 third party in the first place.
But the article does reflect what's going on lately: everything Russian is getting put in hot waters, just because Russia.
Nah. I don't use any paid subscriptions atm. If you want to put up for a three-in-one subscription of any anti-virus, lmk in PM and we can talk :3

Big companies like Yahoo! and big department stores which got hacked did notify the public, and asked law enforcement like FBI for help in finding the hackers.
Some big companies had to pay millions of dollars to the victims who had their data stolen because they used their website, or used their credit card at the department store which failed to protect user's data from getting hacked. If these companies notified the police, FBI, etc and users earlier, they may not have to pay huge cash fines of millions of dollars to the victims, and the government.
I think not reporting hacks to the police and notifying people that their data like personal phone number, address, and social security number stored on a PC were stolen may make it more likely for the owner of the hacked computer to have to go to court, and increases the chances of being sued by the victims who lost their personal information because the owner of the computer got hacked.
A lot of people these days store their friends, family members, co-workers, boss, strangers, and business partners personal information on their personal less-secured home PC, smartphone, and tablet which does not have a good antivirus and firewall program, so there is a chance for people to lose shared personal data not belong to them. Not reporting a hack and notifying people they know may make it more likely for the owner of the hack device to be sued by the owners of the stolen data if it ever gets leaked online or to the darkweb, and lose the court case.
Remember the discussion about avoiding Kaspersky due to the rather unproven allegations against it?
Well, look what has been revealed to the public today!

If you still think the American government is not corrupt, then I have no idea how I can prove it any more.

Many of the US businesses and rich people who donated a lot of money to the two big US government parties can be corrupt because it makes it harder for smaller political parties with less money have a harder time to win seats in government because they have less money to spend on ads, and travelling the country to promote their party.
The government maybe secretly working for US Computer Antivirus which donated a lot of money to the two popular political parties to make Kaspersky look bad, so more people will buy American antiviruses made by Microsoft, Norton/Symantec, and McAfee which is owned by Intel.

There are articles and videos that America, and other countries are actually being run by the NWO/New World Order which is secretly brainwashing people. I think most people call the NWO the Deep State because there is a wrestling team called the NWO when WCW wrestling still existed, and the deep state sounds more accurate than the NWO which can mean many things, and is a popular wrestling league which has a good reputation among wrestling fans. A lot of wrestling fans who write articles about the Deep State may not want to use the term NWO for talking about world politics/government, and rather keep NWO more related to wrestling, and not ruin the reputation of WCW NWO.

Kaspersky. I have been using it for almost 5 years now and I don't have any complaints.
So I would recommend Kaspersky anytime
