It looks like FBI is making great advertisement of Karpersky for security conscious people that has more than 2 neurons.

Kaspersky is the only company that discloses NSA and CIA's evil malware. They are the good guys here.

That is not true. Other AV vendors, such as FireEye and Symantec, repeatedly write about TTPs of all state actors they encounter.

So Karpersky is just more competent to find the ones from the USA Gov.

That is not the case.

It is actually quite difficult to intentionally ignore nation state malware from certain regions, because attributing the origin is not something a private entity can accurately do with confidence.

I kind of like Kaspersky more than the NSA o CIA, but don't forget that they have their own interests too.

I am more concerned about the US government because I am an US citizen and I believe the US government does not align with me politically. So I would rather give my data to the Russians.
