/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "I am both optimistic and pessimistic about
spamming," Kaspersky Lab, major computer security company owner Eugene
Kaspersky said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

"I am optimistic because there are relevant technical methods and
anti-spam filters which work very effectively, clearing traffic of
overload. Today it’s very common to speak about the so-called "Green
IT". That’s the reason our company is praised, and we confirm that
those filters and anti-virus products lessening traffic overload are
designed by us. As to why I am pessimistic is because legislation
in many countries, such as Russia does not currently envisage proper
methods for fighting spams.

As regards early detection of viruses, the filter immediately
detects and renders harmless the programs containing a virus code
with well-known origins. That makes up about 90-95% of viruses. All
other viruses not recognized by computer, they be found later, after
detection and registration of its virus code," Eugene Kaspersky said.

"I don’t think the problem of spamming has already become so serious
and critical. If it posed threat to global network operation, I
believe its delivery would be immediately sanctioned."
