Like Mike O'Pray I use Kaspersky (since 1996) and I was amused to read that someone in Her Majesty's Government speaks of the risk of the probable Moscow connection. I simply avoid disclosing info that might be traced back to my bank on the internet.
From the posts above I did not get a clear idea of the distinction between HTTP:// and HTTPS://. Google is so well-behaved that I never need to type it in - I just start with WWW. .... |

Google behaving itself........Google is the biggest harvester of public and private information the world has ever seen. It makes the old KGB file collection, look like a boy scouts stamp album! As for Kaspersky, being based in the former USSR that should start bells ringing straight away. If anyone thinks they are squeaky clean, that must mean Vladimir Putin is the fairy at the top of the Xmas tree. Even that buffoon Trump cannot get anywhere near to Mr Putin when it comes to subterfuge. |

As for not disclosing stuff on the internet - I'm afraid it is a lot more complicated than that to keep your data safe. Antivirus software digs inself into the deepest recesses of your computer (it has to in order to do its job) - it would be trivial to send everything you ever typed or received on your computer to a third party - including all your account logins. Saying that, I have very strong doubts about Kaspersky being compromised - you can bet whatever you like that the other anti-virus vendors are constantly looking to see if that has happened to *any* of their competitors (as well as GCHQ etc). Cheers, Bob. |

Really adding the S to the site is about verifying the ownership of the address to try and stop criminal activity. It is also about making address more expensive penalizing those who will not spend the money.
All the S does is add a load of code to all the messages making them more difficult to intercept. SSLs come in a number of different standard depending on what the site is used for. Obviously money transaction are most a risk and therefore cost hundreds of pounds to set up.
