We will obviously discuss Bitcoin among other things, but I need some advice.
Thus far I've thought of:
-It would be natural to accept Bitcoins for a company that offers computer security and they could be first? -There is probably a future market for some inbuilt Bitcoin security possibilities within antivirus software's, on both PC and mobile. -Antivirus companies have a self interest in Bitcoin growing, because it would make computer security even more important. -Adopting it could earn them a lot of support and PR
Anyone else have something that would be worth to bring up?

imagine antivirus companies software activation key, now replace that activation key with a public bitcoin key. (antivirus companies keep the private key)
customers can then pay the yearly subscription by paying into the key....
this activation / public key is madeup by a secret random bunch of numbers that only AV companyknows. with bits of information from the customers registration details. (like how brain wallet works)
EG
sjfskdjflsdlfj;sldkjfskj slkdjf;lsdf;skadjfklsdjfs;alfj;sfj;lsdjfs;lkdfj;1600PennsylvaniaAveNWWashingtonDCObama
becomes 1AGA9GqKhaDfTUZxyAREx9y6CWf3iv7U4k activation/pubkey.
now that key is linked to one person (obama) and makes it easy for obama to pay his renewal, or retrieve the activation key using his address and name.
this way people cannot just grab any random key from a keygen to get a free subscription

Excellent idea.

First off, I love Kaspersky. IMO they're the best in the business. Wouldn't it be sweet if they came out with their own secure wallet software? Or cooperated with something like Armory to make it even more robust.

Anyone else have something that would be worth to bring up?
How excited are they about the money they will make because of new types of viruses and malware like Cryptolocker?

They could make a lot from this I would guess.
