The advice is, don’t use Kaspersky software or any software that comes from Russia

The advice is, don’t use Kaspersky software or any software that comes from Russia

If it poses a security risk to the government, then it poses a security risk to everyone.

Uninstall it and use something else if you have to. Windows 10 comes with Windows Defender and isn’t that bad these days. Certainly better than nothing or exposing your system to hackers through the back door of a Russian backed software company.

    Dave Webster and I would say the UK government are probably doing the same as well. The answer surely is Open Source and the wider global community taking control.

    This may interest you. I have used ClamAV on Linux before, but it is available on other platforms too and it is Open Source. clamav.net – ClamavNet

    Ok to consider Russian influence, but look further East for even more Tech infringements & Data hacking.
