They're talking about sanctions against the company[0] and have been advising US businesses in certain sectors move away. Not to mention trashing them on the news for months. I agree with not using foreign AV on US Government computers. Even if for no other reason than the Russian government could storm into Kaspersky HQ and demand private keys to sign a malware update (e.g. right before a conflict). I just want to see technical explanation for the ongoing negative PR against the company, particularly as it relates to private Western businesses and individuals. Why should I, as a technical person, advise my company to move away from Kaspersky with no technical information in hand? On the face of it Kaspersky is (was?) a well reputed and effective piece of defensive software.
