Yes, you absolutely did.
I did a search on GFY for the topic last week and seen your posts.
I personally had nothing but suspicion until about 2 years ago that I could pin something specific to it.
But I have had a problem with all 'updating software' for a very long time.
Virus scanners in particular offer a opportunity for hacks of many types because they are able to look at everything on the system and report back items of unidentified code.
The problem with Kaspersky was only the fact that it did it's job very well but the Russian government had access to all of that unidentified code and the location where it was found from Kaspersky.
Not funny is how many issues we have had with security in Adobe products and the fact that Adobe Reader is the US Governments official document type. So every government office has it along with all those private entities that have to deal with the government. Many of the 'fixes' in security lapse's have been a mere band-aids while the flaws still exist at their core and they only stop the current method of attack. Microsoft often does the same.
