Kaspersky Antivirus "secure connection scan" as broken as Superfish?

I've read a lot about Superfish (and similar adware) lately and I basically understand the vulnerability to MITM attacks. But I'm actually wondering if the "secure connection scan" by Kaspersky Antivirus (e.g.: http://ift.tt/1FkVgrp) is as broken as the Superfish example?

I mean Kaspersky installs a root certificate onto my computer and "man in the middles" all connections to scan for malware. For my understanding this isn't any better than the Superfish desaster... what makes Kaspersky more secure?
