#1 Pure projection. The NSA knows they've backdoored American security software and suspects TEH ROOSHINS of doing the same.

Honestly I have less to fear from TEH ROOSHINS than I do my own government. I'd rather they backdoor my computer than the NSA, there is less personal risk for me that way.

#4 My wife uses Kaspersky on her laptop and likes it very much. I can't imagine what the Russians would do with her information on grand-kids, cats and knitting.
