Our company uses the enterprise version of Kaspersky. But if we drop this over surveillance issues then it would be a pretty hypocritical to switch to AV software from the USA. Since they are proven to do the exact thing that Kaspersky is now suspected / blamed of doing.

So, fellow Europeans, what now? Avast? Any other options?

EDIT: Ok so I found a pretty useful Wiki list[1] with European made AV products. I haven't used them so I can't judge to their effectiveness, especially the enterprise versions. But here are some alternatives to US / RU anti virus suites.

Czech Republic: AVAST, AVG, TrustPort

Finland: F-Secure

Germany: Avira, G-Data

Iceland: FRISK (F-PROT)

Romania: Bitdefender

Slovakia: ESET

Spain: PANDA security
