Kaspersky sticks to mouth

Security vendor Kaspersky accuses a local company called Rising of libel and unfair competition that has caught the attention of Chinese media.

The story begins before Kaspersky mistook Rising's security tools as dangerous programs and recommends that customers not install these software.

In contrast, Rising also criticized Kaspersky's ineffective performance on the Chinese market after Symantec harmed many computers due to being infected with Windows files.

In response, Kaspersky said Rising took advantage of this time to promote its image. However, Chinese rivals claim that they can sue the anti-virus software maker.

This is the first time two security companies have accused each other in harsh words. This is understandable because these two companies are vying for a leading position in the Chinese market, a market that brings huge profits for them.

Just a few weeks ago, security company Symantec also caught up with a serious incident that greatly affected their image not only on the Chinese market but also worldwide.

Symantec's security solutions have confused some elements of Windows with dangerous components, which have compromised and made the operating system inaccessible after quarantining files.

After a short time, Symantec decided to provide free software for affected customers in order to save its image.

Symantec's spokesman in Australia, Catriona Turner, told PC World: ' We will spend more than 2 weeks, the time we think is enough for customers to register to use this software. . '
