Isn't it chinese, too?
@@P7Hook yup, tencent has majority
biggest difference is the CCP hasn't directly threaten military action against US or its allies, and/or directly involved in war with a country the US has ties to.
@@cranberrysauce61 Chi-na has connections with Russia
@@gearfriedtheswmasRussia and China are not on good terms right now I think
I think X and Meta pose greater risks than Kapersky...
why....
@@derek8564 do you know what kind of people Musk and Zuckerberg are?? If you know, you wouldn't trust anything they touch.
and you'd be wrong
There's no doubt about that
@@frankenmizer828 NO.
The real cause was 100% that they figured out how to counter Pegasus
Also they previously uploaded NSA spyware to their cloud.
my first thought
@@DangerWrap they did?
The US is really worried about Kaspersky discovering things about the Pegasus spyware...
this does not stop any security research being done by the Kaspersky teams. that literally not how internet works, bub.
all this does is mitigates the number of potential targets within the US from falling victim to a pseuo-Commercial company that is directly controlled by Kremlin.
this isn't a hyperbole. if a nation like Russia routinely sends teenagers to prison for merely mentioning Ukraine in a positive light, how much control do you think they have over devs at a company like Kaspersky that have root access to users PCs?
@@GTV8593 We do not send teenagers to prison for this, you are victim of a propaganda.
@@GTV8593 yup! american spyware allowed only. the U.S government is the only government who deserves your data. And there is no actual evidence kaspersky is nefarious, being russian means the U.S government shouldnt use it but banning it for citizens is a stretch. It's like tiktok was under fire when people act like instagram aint taking your data
@@GTV8593 The Swiss company Kaspersky
@@GTV8593 can you provide a name of at least one teenager who ended up in prison for said deed?
It's likely not a coincidence they decided to outlaw Kaspersky right after they figured out how to counter their greatest ally's Pegasus.
Never did trust these anti virus's back then and I still don't now!
interesting
What do you mean?
It most certainly retaliation for that. It they were actually concerned about hostile nation software they'd be banning all chinese software because chinese businesses also have a requirement to surrender any and all information to the CCP if they're told to. Chinese spies are caught in the US all the time trying to steal things in government and research so they more than meet the criteria for being considered a hostile nation. China just makes all the worlds cheap goods so no one's willing to actually do anything about it.
@@Halcyon737 Israel created Pegasus. Kaspersky was one of the first anti-virus's to be able to stop Pegasus. So, take from that what you will but i think he means that the US doesn't want a Russian anti-virus stopping a Israeli (US ally) virus from spying on Americans, for the US government.
and we are back in cold war times
but this time around, we are trying to have a command economy. We want to be the commies this time.
Livin under a rock ehy
friend, the cold war never stopped
Cold? There's literally a war going on right now...
Cold War never ended buddy. Collapse of the USSR only paused the bad feelings between the USA and Russia.
It is simple, everything Kaspersky is being accused of, are normal operations of the accuser.
Not quite. The 'accuser' is not, presently, run by a man that murders his national opposition. Eugene Kaspersky could be murdered if he does not do what Putin wants. That is not speculation it is a fact. Putin murders Russians that annoy him.
The argument that "the source code for the software is unknown" falls apart when so many other programs, not just AVs, are closed-source.
The implied argument is "the source code for the software of a Russian company is unknown". Considering that the US and Russia are in a proxy war, the ban makes sense.
And windows is closed sourced too.
@@mechanizard reason you should not use windows
Putin pays one team to make malware and gets money from the other team making and selling Kaspersky. He then takes the malware's code from the team making them and hands it to the team making Kaspersky. Neat way to fund an army.
@@STCatchMeTRACjRo
But I thought security through obscurity was cool.
How are you going to hack something if you literally cannot see the screen?
/s
Kaspersky caught the NSA setting up a back door into every Windows machine with Eternal Blue and also came up with a way to determine if your device is infected with Pegasus. This is why Kaspersky is banned.
Howly how do u know
Eternal Blue wasnt found by Kaspersky it got leaked by The Shadow Brokers.
Pegasus is amateur work compared to the shit the NSA pulls off.
Also operation triangulation makes Pegasus look like a joke.
@@FurkanOz480 it would make sense since it undermines US deep state interests.
No. Any anti-malware company could do that as well.
I've used Kaspersky for decades and It has always served me flawlessly. If the organized criminal enterprise (the US government) tells me not to use it, I'm going to keep using it.
Just gives you another reason to keep using it.
The most dangerous words from government is " I'm from the government and we're here to help
I've been using Kaspersky since the mid late 90s never a problem
It was because of Pegasus. Kaspersky was able to uninstall government-spyware.
Or maybe because it's software easily compromised by the Kremlin.
they also uncovered Triangulation exploit on iOS:
stuxnet, eternalblue, WannaCry, etc.
Uninstall Windows Tracking is not good
Bingo someone who did some research, I did not mention this in my own comment but not only that, look at the CVE registry to see there is far more to this...
Regardless, Kaspersky is SOC 2 TYPE II compliant and certified, I hope you understand what international requirements you must meet to even be considered for a SOC 2 (not to mention a TYPE II) certification. If you get that you know why this relates to the former.
But Again, if I am a better man, which I am not, I would think the US will Recommend Trend Micro or Sophos. Which is ok, better than McFee and other known brands but again you can independently verify why END POINT security by Kaspersky makes the rest look like ClamAV.
But fair enough, politics aside, Sophos have great solutions and in my experience better than Trend Micro.
So what is next, Proton? Yes the Kaspersky Labs they are cutting ties with is Swiss not Russian... again must of the same vibe going on as was the case with TT.
Oh to get a SOC 2 TYPE II certification you must have independent labs (ovrtr 680) review your source code. I can go on and on about standards but as the commenter said, it is about Pegasys.
Man. Freedom is changing its definition pretty quick.
It’s almost scary how fast the US is turning incredibly nationalistic and xenophobic of anything that isn’t American
You guys never had one to begin with
US govt will tell u what to think and how to think.
@@SkSafowan "Your ship is sinking too, just not as fast!!!" Wow, sick burn dude. You really got em with that one
nope, but it's sad to see people buying into, even passively, the exact thing political entities are trying to do - change language to change the way you think. the fact that freedom is being visibly eroded (not like it wasn't previously but nobody paid attention) absolutely does not mean its definition changing.. no sequitor - absolute nonsense.
CIA does not like to be detected on every single PC.
very well said.
If the US doesn't like a particular security software, it makes me more inclined towards actually start using it rather than uninstalling it.
"Whatever government tells you, do the opposite."
Puerile. There are no simple rules and everything must be judged case by case. There are 10,000 things that the government and its agents do every day that allow you live your life in a comfortable enough state so that you can watch your anime and post on the internet.
This type of logic sounds good until you actually start abiding by it. Gov' says I shouldn't eat nuclear waste so should I do it anyway?
@@user-lc7pk6zx7xBro just shut up and stop licking government's boots
Especially when they want you to inject untested gene therapy into your body 🤮
Brainlet take
I feel more threatened by meta, google, apple and microsoft rather than kaspersky.
No joke. Third parties test Kaspersky regularly. They run it through the wringer, and it's fantastic.
I do so
Nobody can trust US as well

REALLY?
All of the excuses to ban Kaspersky applies to Windows, Android, Google cloud services, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Office Suite, each and every american antivirus, Apple Creative Cloud, each and every company that offers cloud storage, backups and sync......
But yeah. Kaspersky is the problem.
XD
Translation, NSA can't freely access their costumers data.
This law is advertising Kaspersky because it takes care of Pegasus.
*Im in the USA, I'll still be using Kaspersky via VPN*
NOBODY tells me what I can or cannot use!!!
Kaspersky protect you from nsa.that why they want it banned
Good for you man, there's equally good and better software but keep on keeping on.
Well...good on you, comrade ;)
@@ChrisM541 I'm a republican capitalist silly!!
@@user-lc7pk6zx7x Which one is the better software?
I think it's way more about politics and economic pressure than anything that's truly a security concern. We're flooded with projects from other countries that aren't the friendliest towards us and nobody seem to care one little bit. But this one product is being used to score political points for somebody.
As someone who lives outside of US and Russia I'm amazed they didn't banned Kaspersky earlier... ofc speaking from geopolitical tension point of view.
wanna question something else? Why did the US spent trillion of dollars for Cold War against SU, yet still was buying their rocket engines until recently
@@Rubicola174 Read that again
Because Kaspersky discovered Pegasus, a spyware for IOS and Android.
Some powerful country somewhere didn't like that.
@@jiffonbuffo Not entirely true. Citizen Lab (and Lookout) discovered Pegasus on iOS.. Kaspersky researchers then found out it worked on Android as well, through a different mode of attack.
@@jiffonbuffo Don't forget operation triangulation
Jesus you could argue Microsoft could do the same thing through an update. Not sure I believe this but I understand the logic.
and hence dont trust Microsoft, install Linux
@@gzcwnk fr
Well obviously but it's the USA that's banning these, they want the control of being able to hold foreign companies, for example, with the tiktok ban that's soon to come, if the tiktok company relocates to a USA based company then the USA has the ability to use a court issued warrant to easily gain access to all it's data on the users. Also I do believe that this will slowly crawl so that they ban foreign VPN's unless they're USA based in order to do the same thing and spy on the users.
@@gzcwnk With linux, this can be done just as easily lol. Many developers are located in America. Many programs are created in America. What prevents the NSA from embedding a backdoor into the program so that it will be almost impossible to detect? Linux has found vulnerabilities that have not been fixed for 10 years. There is also a recent case of a vulnerability that was found literally by accident.... And if my memory serves me correctly, it was discovered by a Microsoft employee, not a vaunted community....
Logic? USA want to control everyone is the logic.
The reason is exactly the same as to why USA did not ban ticktok but rather want a us company to acquire it.
Only USA has the "right" to spy and wreck havoc on and from the internet. You know, like having a backdoor to every single win10 home for a few years, or trying to make a nuclear facility in a foreign country go booom...
Glad I live in Germany with this one, Kaspersky seems reliable and competent, from all that I have heard from them so far.
Bis unsere Politik meinen mit zuziehen mit dem ban, wie sie es ja auch schon bei tiktok erwähnt haben
All major German private and government-owned companies banned Kaspersky by themselves when the war started. You are of course free to install spyware by yourself.
been using kaspersky since 2016. i don't notice any impact in performance and i have not once been infected, and i use the computer 12 hours a day on average
I'm personally using Kaspersky. Never had any problems. Sadly being part of the modern world. No matter what security software you use. There is a level of trust when giving software access to your hardware. It's just one of those things I guess. Mind you this ban doesn't affect me since I'm in the land of Downunder.
Indeed, you have more to fear from your land's and their allies intelligence services than far-off Russia. The former actually have the power to use info and access against you legally.
I think ultimately depends on what is the purpose of the device it is installed in. If you are working with for example the US government and handling some very important secrets that Russian Intelligence might want, then it might not be a good idea to use Kaspersky. On the other hand, if you are an everyday person who have nothing in particular that is of interest to Russian or even Chinese intelligence and instead have a greater risk of some corpos sneaking in Pegasus and the like to steal your personal data for God-knows-what purposes, then it is safer to use Kaspersky than say Norton or Mcafee.
@@rps215 Sure, but government machines/users were already banned from using Kaspersky (by rule, if not law) for years now.
This is more of a punishment or tit for tat by the US than anything related remotely close to protecting its citizens as claimed.
Lol, there is another country who's software is embedded into US Gov't systems. Moss(t) Odd.
they wont do anything against their "greatest ally" and Overlord
Since SCOTUS struck down the Chevron Deference yesterday, I wonder if the Dept of Commerce has the authority to enforce this Kaspersky ban.
They do. So does the DoJ.
This is geopolitical
It's the Kremlin's fault for infesting every company in Russia
this stone also kills a second bird:
Kaspersky recently figured out how to remove Pegasus ( malware the NSA uses ), and they obviously don't want people to be able to use that ability.
indeed. but they can't say it on this channel.
@@farhanrejwan Can't? Or don't want to?
I would still trust Kaspersky more than any other av program from America.
You might as well buy the protection software from the same country producing the most viruses, malware, etc. that makes you need something like Kaspersky. Create the problem then supply the solution. That's Russia.
Yeah--both Norton and McAfee are garbage.
I wonder if going after Kapersky is a test case to set precedent before enforcing the TikTok ban.
Ban Kaspersky keep Microsoft no penalty for screenshoting users every 2 seconds and sending it to their server's
Nobody can force me to not use apps I want to use.
But laptops or phones with them installed can be seized.
Exactly. Information wants to be free, so let it stay free.
Heh. Sure - go ahead and think that.
Watch as near-future Microsoft Patch Tuesdays rip it right out of your system.
They can force you to not be able to update without going through a bunch of hoops

They don't want Kaspersky to reveal whatever NSA is doing.
This is what us Americans do... ban things we can't compete with. That's why we increased tariffs on Chinese EV's. We are just big sore losers these days, sulking in a corner all by ourselves.
Same with China and TP-Link but the customer loves cheap networking devices. Huawei was the same with more backbone networking devices.
Universal Exploitable Firmware Interface and Microsoft are the weakest links in cybersecurity
I do admit I use Linux and not windows anymore but to me ... Kaspersky and maybe Bit Defender are the only two AV scanners WORTH using
Kaspersky isn't available on Linux right?
You can still use Kaspersky Free global version.
The ban is only prohibiting Kaspersky from OFFER aka selling its products
the free version is not as secure as the paid version for obvious reasons. while most users could go for what you suggested, not everyone's daily needs can be met with that.
If the ban is not lifted, Kaspersky may be forced to comply on its side by blocking connections from the US, so any Kaspersky software won’t work. You would have to use a VPN to make it work
@@farhanrejwanThe free version is very good with fewer features as the paid options. I remember installing it on a PC that turned out was infected, and after scanning and rebooting as required by Kaspersky, I rescanned and it was clean and safe to use
Just buy a license from outside the USA.
@@repairman2be250 sneak 100 😂
This pisses me off no end. Just my opinion, but Kaspersky is by far the best antivirus
Same here, I’ve been using it for almost 3 years now and just renewed my subscription 2 days ago. I guess we’ll be forced to move to a close second such as Bitdefender
Kaspersky is overrated.
@@user-lc7pk6zx7x Nyet. Top of the line
Same here. I've used it for years, and it has saved me a couple of times.
@@user-lc7pk6zx7x kaspersky is overrated my ass
Through the years Kaspersky have always been among the top quality AVs. If they ever decide to do something rogue - it will be their last, because a reputation of a security company can be ruined with just 1 such move, and it will get known, you can't hide it forever, if you do something malicious - it will be uncovered.
The craziest part of the accusations to me is, that they say Kaspersky may eventually hold back updates to allow for malware - which they never did - but the US NSA with Microsoft and other vendors actually did that on multiple occasions.
It is up to you at the end whom do you trust - the competent Biden administration or your common senses :)
hardware and software choices boil down to who do you feel comfortable being spied on by. Its been that way for quite a while.
What’s stopping them, creating a U.S. version, under a subsidiary, new name, same engine different skin, compiled in the U.S.
The SEC.
@@frankenmizer828 might want to expand on that, it would be a totally different company formed and based in US.
@@dave24-73 Likely something to it. Xiaomi has US operations but their phones are still banned here. They are so big they could easily do what you mentioned. Which really makes no sense as iPhones were made in China for decades.
Kaspersky has saved my ass multiple times, it's hard to consider an alternative. I am not based in the US, but I do visit. What considerations will I have to make? Forced to uninstall when traveling? What about the VPN or Password Manager?
Top 2 options are bitdefender and Kaspersky but Kaspersky is over all better
you won't need anything if you perk up your prevention: watch what you download, ublock origin with all lists enabled, adblock and malblock DNS in your router
@@Dionysor one also need services that block or notify scam sites. The reason is self-control/prevention might not work if the social engineering is too good. Kaspersky have that services.

I’ve dreaded this day for years. I tried most all AV made outside USA as our American products are plainly crap (Norton, M?Afee, TotalAV- which seems like a scam to me)… so that means, Sophos, HitMan Pro (which is Sophos now), Panda, Avira )even though it’s owned by Norton or whatever the new name is these days), ESET, BitDefender, TrendMicro….
Unfortunately, there is no one products that stands head & shoulders above the rest. RIP Midori, til we meet again.
Midori?
@@DallasIsRokkoSMidori Kuma is the name of the green bear Kaspersky uses in their ads 😂
@@TheChillee which is literally "green bear" in Japanese
ESET is Slovak. Bitdefender is Romanian. Both antivirus products are among the best on the market and are part of the European Union.
So are G Data (Germany) and F-Secure (Finland).
The US may do the same thing it fears from Russia with Kaspersky: abuse companies and customers that use anti-malware solutions from US companies. McAfee, Nortonlifelock (including Norton, Avira, Avast/AVG and Bullguard), Fortinet, Malwarebytes, Panda, VIPRE, Total Defense, eScan. They're all owned by US companies now.
The solution is no AV at all :)

Would somebody please explain how this represents more of a threat than something like a laptop that's made in China? I'd think that ingredients such BIOS, various embedded controllers, management engines, etc. could an issue as well...
Why would those be a threat? You're required to explain how all of those devices work before they can be sold in the US. The NSA even mandates complete access to every part of them and anything they're capable of.
@@lainamitclaire That makes their decision on Kaspersky even more questionable, the NSA can verify what every pc component made in China can and can't do, but they can't prove Kaspersky is or could be used as malware, and base their ban purely on speculation? Just like Leo said, if they want to protect against foreign, enemy countries using technology as a leverage against the US, they'd have to ban *all* kinds of software made by Russia, not just one particular antivirus
@@juanin200 I'm not saying it makes sense, I'm saying "If you ban Kaspersky why not ban all silicon from China" makes even LESS sense.
You mean Lenovo
What BIOS chip and firmware are you using that is Chinese? You probably have an American (ie American Megatrends) or Taiwanese (Insyde) bios chip and firmware. You're also more likely to have US semiconductors (since they make up like 50% of the global market) than China's.
M$ recall is no problem
of course not, recall even stores the data in plaintext so that your good old friend Pegasus (US Spyware) can simply access it without decryption :)
Sadly Kaspersky figured out how to detect and counter Pegasus and now theyre banned in the US. Happy little coincedences
Is Windows a spyware? YES!
what antivirus are you using?
After looking at Packets from Kaspersky their Kaspersky data center lab is stationed in Canada fron seeing it in wireshark.
I think they also have servers in Mexico as well
man do I love people being so damn sure that Kaspersky is spyware, purely relying on the fact that it is a Russian software lmao
Just like Vanguard, because it is Chinese it must mean the Chinese government wants all of our data, something the US could *never*
Yeah, it is stupid, but I can understand that European and American institutions and corporations won't take the risk.
You didn't watch the video did you
Imagine being this ignorant and proud
@@andreasplosky8516 which is why it was understandable when they banned it in government. But in the whole country?
The thing I find with this, is that if you changed Kaspersky to any other AV name, you'll get the same effect. Doesn't matter where it's from. Tell me your government is paranoid without telling me your government is paranoid.
'Jurisdiction, control, or direction of the XX government' -- you can change that to the US government, or any other Government and have the same thing; your local government can more than likely do the exact same thing, and probably do
'Access to sensitive XX customer information through administrative privileges' -- Any AV you have installed would pretty much have the exact same access and you can limit what it can and can't do as well (from what I remember).
'Capability or opportunity to install malicious software and withhold critical updates' -- Nothing is risk free; no AV is 100% protection, no system is 100% safe. Windows can basically do this on their own with all their spyware updates like co-pilot and snapshot.
Btw, John mcafee did not kill himself.
Also, its funny to see people in panic like "OH IM BEEN HACKED BY RUSSIA I WANT MY PRIVACY BACK", but they keep using Windows lmao
They see no issue using USA spyware.
When people say privacy is crucial and spyware is bad when technically anything that is connected to the internet can be spied on no matter what kind of products they use lol.
So you are just screwed out of money if you bought a 3-year subscription?
They won't be able to sell from the enforced ban date is what I assume, not gonna affect one's already have it
I love Kaspersky its an excellent product. This is due to geopolitical and a vendetta against Russia because of Ukraine. The happiest company right now is Bitdefender which is also excellent.
So what about any video game? Any audio file any? There's a lot of things that are closed source that you don't have the source to
In some ways the Cold War never ended.
Kaspersky is the best
lmaoo
So what would happen to my Kaspersky come September? Actually curious as to how this would work, is it just going to stop working? Guess I need to start looking for another anti-virus.
russian intelligence access my data is no better or worse than what the NSA already does to all my data in stationary or transit 24/7.
Im not sure, but I would be more concerned about my country getting my data more than any other one coz they kinda can do more with that than say, idk, france
I've read some of the comments here talking about concerning security measures on different softwares. Solution is simple, just don't use any digital device and live under a rock. But you can't, can you? That's the problem, nobody can
100%
So what if I DON'T switch too other software? Are government agents just going to come knocking on my door? I don't think so...
You might be just raided by heavily armed swat teams.

I love Kaspersky. It’s the best security out there, period. I have used it since 2008. No way. I can’t believe this.
You could probably still purchase it outside of the US and use it here. It wasn't even being sold in the US when I first started using it.
If they are worried it is Russia then Tik Toc should be banned as well..
They should ban all asian faces in usa too
Looks like Bitdefender is about to get a lot of customers
lol
Bitdefender is the best antivirus in the world.
Just do the opposite of what the US government tells you to do and you'll be fine.
I'm a Bitdefender subscriber and I have not had any problems with Bitdefender except, there was no notification of an upcoming automatic renewal for which they do not give you the user the ability to disable or enable. They claim that it is automatically done during the installation process, therefore removing that functionality from the user's ability to control. This means that they can withdraw funds from your account at anytime without your consent ss well charge more for their services and still withdraw funds from your account again without prior notification and your approval.

i'm more worried about google than kaspersky... give me a break
so, if not Kaspersky, what should be used? as a private user also in the large networks?
As far as I know being an insider, China and Russia has the best brains in software building, so banning can become a turning point for the “non-sanctioned”. Chinese will crush anything if there’s a chance and that’s alright.

It sounds like a no-brainer. If there are other AVs just as good as Kaper, then just switch. As for banning TikTok, a Chinese company, it is banned in China. If China bans its own companies within its own borders, everyone else should, too.
