lol. 30 years too late?

So true—everybody has been doing this to everybody else for decades—including infiltrating hardware of all kinds as well as software.

.Gov always wants to make it sound like they just discovered a “new threat”.

Clown world.

As if our government doesn’t already have backdoors into the other software.

Gee, I'm shocked.

NOT

Kaspersky Antivirus banned ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

We’re worried about a Russian anti-virus program taking over our Chinese made computer equipment?

Gotta have boogie men to cover up what you’re doing.

If they say my fav video game War Thunder is Russian bias I’m moving to the Crimea where there’s peace and less illegals

I bought it. They hate it because it doesn’t give the FBI back doors. I guess now we have to buy it with a VPN.

I recommend Norton. They always keep their patches up to date.

With a name like Kaspersky, who’d have known?

Yeah, they should have named it SMITH. :)

I have used them on every computer from their start here until Russia invaded Ukraine. It’s still on my old Win7 computer telling me to update.

I was hoping they would ride it out somehow and/or the invasion would end, but … I guess that’s not to be.

And another one bites the dust …

As if our government doesn’t already have backdoors into the other software.

...and the Kaspersky software would flag them or close them. Can't have that happen.

I use Musa antivirus and security suite from Nigeria.

When you install Kaspersky, you’re installing Communism!
