Depends on whether it's a foreign agency or national agency that's doing the data collection. And that's completely reasonable for national safety against a "cold war" opponent. As the current situation is something between cold war and an actual war, a guess it could be thought of as a proxy war. I wish the EU would follow suit with the ban. No need to give an enemy country access to citizens information. And there's no guarantee that they couldn't use the affected computers for an attack in future. Before you come say that they are not collecting user data in russia, they're still sharing virus research data between the datacenters, and it would be fairly easy to share more data without leaving a lot of traces. I also know how good Kaspersky is, especially the accuracy vs false detection, and the level of control you have of the functions. But as long as they're controlled by russia, it shouldn't be used. And the same applies for the US if it ever becomes an enemy nation.

What I’m saying is that they’re banning it because it could be a useful tool for Russia, not because they care about our privacy like they claim. It’s a double standard and it’s fun to laugh at them for trying to sell it to us. Realistically if you want privacy you shouldn’t be using any software from any company that has any ties to any government. This spying and mass data collection is just too tempting and too easy for governments for me to believe that they’re not all doing it.

better question, why the hell is the topic of conversation not "why is the government telling you what software you're allowed to install on your computer". Who gives a fuck what their intentions are, this is not something that governments have a right to regulate. People will go on and on about how "buying isn't owning anymore" because they willingly buy devices that are locked down, yet a politican knocks on their door and tells them what software they're allowed to have whether they like it or not and that's okay? So a customer willingly buying a locked down device is a no-no, but politicians deciding what software you're allowed to put on that device whether the end user likes it or not is fine and dandy?

​@@Magus12000BC "you can't do this" is telling you what you can and can't do. It sounds like a non-difference because it *_is_* a non-difference, they are literally one and the same. If the government says "you are *_not_* allowed to have sex with anyone of the same sex as yourself" that is just as infringing as "you are *_only_* allowed to have sex with someone of the oopposite sex to yourself. I'm assuming the point you are trying to say is that "it's not making it illegal to install it, it's making it illegal for kaspersky to do business with people in the US!" but *_that_* is a *_actually_* a distinction without a difference. "you can't buy this" and "you can't sell this" both result in people not being able to buy it. Transactions take one buyer and one seller, so if you make one of those actions illegal the transaction stops happening. (at least, assuming it's enforced) No matter which side you criminalize *_both_* sides are stopped. By saying "kaspersky can't do business with people in the US" the government is either admittting "we know we can't actually enforce this even if we wanted to, but we're making the rule anyway" which ought to be illegal for a number of reasons not the least being that they wasted god knows how many tax payer dollars on something that they *_knew_* wouldn't have an effect, orrrrrr they do expect it to be enforcible and are actually going to be able to stop kaspersky from doing business in the US, in which case no US citizens will be able to buy and use a given piece of software because the government said so. Again, whether you stop the buyers or the sellers, you stop them both. What the government wants to put on it's own computers is it's own business, just like it's *_your_* own business what you want to put on *_your_* own computer. This glaring hypocrisy is a shining example of the faux-empowerment of shit like RtR where it acts like it's protecting the consumer while taking *_away_* choices on the premise that the consumer is too dumb to decide for themselves what they want. I mean this is literally, pound for pound, the *_exact_* same thing they did with tornado cash, yet for some reason it's getting a wildly different perception. If the government wants people to stop installing kaspersky then it can publish a report saying "hey dumbassess, stop installing kaspersky" and that report can either be convincing or it can not be. However, under absolutely no definition of the word is "fuck you, you do what I say whether you like it or not" 'empowering' the consumer. (and no, even if it's decided by a vote that doesn't solve the problem, that still means up to 49% of the people involved are being told "fuck you, you do what we say whether you like it or not" even when the actions don't actually affect them. Tyranny of the majority is still tyranny.)

It's about destination, not the journey. Yet another step to completely control what people know, how they think and so on.

One of the features enabled by default in the Kaspersky AV suite is an HTTPS proxy, which allows the detection of malicious payloads as people browse the Web. That's basically a MitM tool installed willingly, although many people have no idea it's there. Since it's a good AV, I am not planning to uninstall it anytime soon.

This. Never switching from Kaspersky, especially now.

Honestly I don't use it, but I still had some "respect" towards it because it's actually an antivirus that works and is not just some adware like most proprietary software out there. For that matter, even their free version that there was back then (I don't know if it's still around) didn't have any ads, not even advertisement for their paid version. It's clear that they had at least some respect for what they were doing.

Thanks for the commentary, I appreciate your insights. What are the political implications, for the US Government, of Russian private companies being able to counter Israeli malware, being deployed in US soil, with or without the alleged US Gov acknowledgement?

I decided long time ago to never use an antivirus on all my computers because I noticed that the computers where I had these things installed were getting more infected by viruses than those who didn't have on the network

It's a considerable concern as far as how badly this will impact future research. Security research is one of those things that's meant to transcend national boundaries for a net benefit to everyone involved. I hate the idea of that information getting locked down based on citizenship.

I used to think USA was the better evil, that has completely changed into "they are all evil", with USA being the most evil of them all since they managed to fool me for so many years.

Kaspersky nowadays has gone beyond the antivirus software. They have got secure hypervisor and a secure KasperskyOS. KOS is a closed source operating system, but it has community edition to play around. KOS mainly targeting IoT, but they implemented a thin client and this year a smartphone.

If it's proprietary, always treat it like spyware, unless you route all connections through a firewall and only allow the connections you want.

Out of all of the antiviruses I've used, Kaspersky was easily the best. Kaspersky is a threat to national security in the same way that TikTok, Rock N' Roll, Elvis shaking his hips, and Twisted Sister is a threat to national security.
