In addition to the files (which may or may not be sent), Kaspersky collects lots of intelligence about your computer each time including:
* operating system version
* installed service packs
* kernel objects
* drivers
* services
* Microsoft Internet Explorer add-ons
* printing system extensions
* Windows Explorer plug-ins
* loaded objects
* Active Setup items
* applets
* control panels
* records from the hosts file and system registry
* IP addresses
* versions of browsers
* versions of email clients
* Unique identifier assigned by the Kaspersky Lab product to the user’s computer
* Information about the status of anti-virus protection on the computer
* Information about about all potentially harmful files and operations (including virus name, date and time of its detection, names and sizes of infected files and their paths, IP address of an attack- ing computer and the number of the port attacked via network, name of a poten- tially malicious application)
* Information about signed applications downloaded by the user (URL, file size, sig- nature).
* Information about launched applications (size, attributes, creation date, PE header information, region, name, location, packer)
I don't know what they collect for Macs. Still, that is an awful lot of surveillance information they are gathering and storing in Russia. :-\
