In order to avoid any confusion with antivirus creator Eugene Kaspersky, he spells his penname differently in Russian. Kris is also known under the following pseudonyms: myschh, nezumi (jap. 鼠, mouse), n2k, elraton, souriz, tikus, muss, farah, jardon, KPNC. Penname “myschh” was chosen owing to the novel “Dune” which is a great favorite of his (Kris often used quotations from the novel, in particular, in his first book "Technique and philosophy of hacker attacks"〔Technique and philosophy of hacker attacks. ISBN 5-93455-015-2〕). The name of the protagonist of the novel is Muad'Dib, which stands for a desert mouse. Kris Kaspersky penname is not a derivative from any other word and it has no relevance to Eugene Kaspersky. Kris named himself after Casper the friendly ghost from his favorite cartoon and Kris Kelmi,〔Russian rock and pop musician〕 whose music, nevertheless, myschh never listened to.〔(«Good hacker» — Kris’ biography in «Big city» magazine ).〕 ==Early Years== Kris Kaspersky was born on November 2, 1976 in the village of Uspenskoye, Krasnodar Krai, and at birth was named Nikolay. Being just a few weeks old he suffered a brain stroke, which came as a result of injection of calcium chloride, mistakenly made by a doctor. Brain tissue was partly damaged leading to minor autism.〔 At the age of seven he made his first working radio. While studying at the elementary school he owned his first computer - Pravetz 8D, Bulgarian clone of British Oric Atmos with the documentation in Bulgarian language. The computer required connection to a tape recorder and a color TV set. His first computer game Kris developed for Pravetz 8D.〔 His next computer, Electronika BK-0010, helped Kris to master assembler. The third computer was ZX Spectrum, the fourth one was Agat. Interestingly, except for his birthday, Kris does not remember exact dates and chronology of events, he reconstructs them based on computer models he had at various periods of his life.〔 He graduated from high school with a silver medal. Kris was a good student, and there were only excellent marks in his certificate, however, according to Kris, to get a gold medal one needed to give bribes to local officials.〔 He entered Taganrog University of Radio Engineering with a specialization in “Design of microcontrollers” without entrance exam. Although he went down without taking even first end-of-semester exams because “''students hardly had a possibility to program''” and returned to his native village. In the next year, he entered the university again “''to calm mom''” and again he went down. In those years Kris had IBM PC with 20 mb disk and color monitor. In cooperation with student Shurik, they organized a service of system administration in Taganrog. Some time later his companion absconded with the money. Kris Kaspersky had to give the remaining money and the computer to racketeers and returned to the native village to his parents. Then Kris made attempts to reopen the business with a trader from Armavir, took trips to Krasnodar and Rostov. Finally, Kris ended up in the capital. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kris Kaspersky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
