US electronics retailer Best Buy has stopped selling products by leading computer security firm Kaspersky Lab amid concerns the company has links to Russian intelligence, the two companies confirmed Friday. The big box retailer, with stores across the country, did not announce the change itself but its website was no longer offering Kaspersky products. A Best Buy spokeswoman confirmed in an email reports that the action was taken due to concerns over Kaspersky's alleged links to the Russian government.

“I love McAfee AV” - said by no sensible person ever.
That goes for Symantec as well.
I despise and distrust them both.
Didn’t they get the DNC memo? We’re not worrried about Russia anymore. Now, it’s all about the White Supremacists and storms that are 100% created by Trump pulling out of the Paris Wealth Redistribution.
I’ve used Kaspersky before, and their stuff is very good.
K is a Russian company and will not cooperate with any US intelligence services, and that’s the reason the gummint is down on them.
If you have K’s products you can be sure there is no intelligence data being collected for US agencies - on the other hand maybe Boris gets some.
I have used Symantec Norton, McAfee, and Zone Alarm and now Kaspersky Internet Security.
So far, Kaspersky is the best. I use both Kaspersky and Zone Alarm on all my computers at home.
Agreed this thread is already a hoot. Gotta admit, I am learning a lot more about communism and commerce already.
Yeah, the same Lenovo that that is an arm of the communist chinese party.
McAfee and Symantec are their own viruses, chewing up memory and DASD, and impossible to remove the thousand of files spread throughout. Install either one of those and it’s like walking into a field of mosquitos on a hot summer night.
Every tume I’ve run into McAfee, usually there are problems.
Where I work, McAfee VSE is used and it’s some unreliable stuff. The console will show a successful push to essentially identical systems. Half will have a failed install on inspection.
The agent that is manually installed and ran to get the rest of the package does slightly better.
At home, I use avast when using ‘doze. Most of the time Ubuntu and few concerns for no more than I look at.
“Best Buy is such a sleazy company,...”
But their employees can dance!

If I ran Windows and wanted to pay for an AV product, Trend is hard to beat.
Windows is also a virus.
As far as you know ....
More than an arm.
I went with Kapersky because the first year was free with my new BB desktop.
Renewal was fairly cheap and it seems to be doing a good job.
I work for a very large and renowned corporation that has spent upwards of a billion dollars locking down and hardening its network infrastructure and they chose Trend Micro.
Yep. Symantec was good in the mid-90s but they’re terrible now, too.
