Difference, I guess, would be that -- unlike the KGB -- the CIA isn't known for rounding up and executing its citizens.

These guys are just trying to advertise very sleekly so they get hits on the website. They are a type of web, text, sms, etc.. website trying to provide information to you like Wikipedia. If you want to know about them more just go to kgb.com and click on about us at the top right corner of the page.

There's no malware, it's just some cell phone text information gathering service. Here's the ad on their site: www.kgbkgb.com.../spot1

And another one: www.kgbkgb.com.../spot2

I think people said they got malware because if you google knowledge generation bureau, the first like 5 sites are malware sites.,, at least on my computer, I may have malware on here now

The website for the Knowledge Generation Bureau, gives plenty of information about the company stating that it is a text answer service. Unlike automated search services (Search engines), the KnoGenBur is completely operated by human research and response.

Personally, I have had no problems with the site. just make sure you actually go to www.kgb.com...... don't google it and click on what is offered. If you want a good laugh, check out the TV spots.

Unfortunately, some important issues (such as the Knowledge Project) are not addressed by the site. If you would like to know more, perhaps your only option is to query the KGB.....

It's a text answering service. Send in a question to 542542 (kgbkgb) and you'll get an answer in 10 minutes or it's free. Kgb being a intel gathering department like the CIA. Seems like a extravagant way to get a point across.

I googled "knowledge generation bureau" - the first 3 listings, when clicked, were stopped indicating malware. Beware.

You won't get one. I made the ultimate computer sacrifice and turned off my anti-virus and went to the site. Guess what happened?

"Knowledge Generation Bureau" is a company. Companies do not put malware on their web sites. At least not if they plan to stay in business.

You know, all I said was that other people were saying that their computer security systems were telling them that malware was tying to self install every time they tried to go on the site.

I didn't make that up but your post seem to reflect that you may think I did.

If I had thought you did I would have told you I thought you did. I'm simply explaining my personal opinion - and experiment - that the site doesn't have malware. Nowhere did I claim you made that up. There's no need to get defensive.

I don't know about the site itself attempting to download malware, but if you google search "Knowledge Generation Beuro", nearly all of it is virus crap.

Alright, sorry for the misconception. It's all cool. As for the knowledge project, I actually did ask KGB and it turned up nothing. Which is again, silly, because if it is indeed about "knowledge" and it's your project how do you not know anything about it?

Not to make this some big conspiracy and blow things out of proportion, but it'd be very easy for the KGB to keep tabs on these messages, considering 2 things:
1) If their site is in fact a storage for all of that data, it would be easy for them to search that and find out who's got info on them.
2) If their site is complete bull, then it'd be a synch for them to find info on themselves, considering how little info any of us can find.

Now the point of me explaining their tab keeping is this: maybe some of these other anonymous posters are saying things such as "there's no malware" because they're working for KGB.

Listen, I'm not trying to falsely accuse anyone, but when I'm being trapped into downloading a "malware blocker" because there's a false report of malware already on my computer, I never trust that site, or any of its supporters.

I know that it's a false report, because when I turn my computer off and turn it back on, there's no notice, and when I scan my computer for viruses or malware, there's zero results. Now tell me how a website can tell me there's malware, but my own computer can't. I'm pretty sure neither Norton nor AVG are going to let malware slip by.

Flagged. I totally saw that too. First, when they showed the logo page, I was thinking "I wonder what that company DOES... does it compile information? I don't get it."

Then I saw KGB and wondered how long it would be until it was up on ATS.

Do you think it's a coincidence? What does that company do?

I don't understand why everybody thinks all this KGB stuff is so tacky? The KGB was just the Russian counterpart to the US CIA. I seriously don't think people in Russia would flip out about a website called CIA.com. That just seems a bit ridiculous to me.
