However, this shouldn’t come as a surprise as Kaspersky's reputation for uncovering previously unknown viruses, vulnerabilities, and numerous other cyber-security threats have been very influential in gaining reputation and sales as well. It's therefore quite impressive that a company that has for years been marred by serious allegations and even possible permanent bans has managed to rise from the ashes to glory.

In a bid to increase accountability, Kaspersky announced that it would migrate some of its core infrastructure for its foreign customers to Switzerland from Russian. Of course, the company vehemently denied the said allegations but the damage had already been done. In fact, after allegations of the company having close ties with the Russian government by the US government and other western media outlets in 2015, the US president ended up signing legislation that saw Kaspersky software banned from all government computers. The numbers are quite impressive given the numerous controversies that have faced the company over the years.

In other words, it's currently one of the best and most popular antivirus programs in the world. Kaspersky Antivirus has been in the market for over 20 years and currently serves over 400 million users around the world.
