Kaspersky is just one piece of software to avoid. Others include:

Telegram
Avast AV
Anything from 360 Safe / Qihoo 360
Opera browser ... now owned by above
Zoom
FileZilla / UTorrent / other PUA that bundles adware and acts essentially as a trojan

Ah fuck, what's the alternative to FileZilla?! I've been using that for like 17 years.

So just to illustrate, I went to the normal FileZilla download page and downloaded the Win64 package. Then I submitted it to VirusTotal.

As someone who has used FileZilla for years, I am shook and I appreciate you pasting the link
