http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/07/29/kaspersky_apologizes_for_suggesting_that_its_software_will_get_you_laid/The 1970s called and wants its attitudes back
Kaspersky has apologized for displaying a sexist pop-up advert in its security software. It's not sorry about showing adverts on people's PCs, however.
The Russian giant's desktop software suite flings adverts, er, news items about Kaspersky products at users who have already paid for its applications. On Friday, one of these fine articles appeared on PCs, with a cartoon that many have found offensive.
"Want to be the man?" the cyber-poster asks, depicting a line of women lining up next to a bloke working on a computer. "Want to show the ladies your smarts? Bring them to the cybersecurity world and get rewarded."

...so get her in the mood with a little steamy firewall action.
Be the man with your antivirus plan.
Put a condom on her computer for some hard core safe surfing.
She'll thank you for it later...
