I’m surprised at how many companies still use a Russian AV. You are relying on this singular piece of software to keep your computer safe, and you pick the Russian one? Particularly when Windows Defender is right there. All you have to do is…not install the Russian AV.
Probably because old habits die hard. Kaspersky used to have a pretty good reputation as far as AV software.
In the past, I used TDSSKiller to resurrect many PC’s where other antivirus software failed.
Unfortunately, the whole Russia being a malicious actor negates any reasons to continue using Kaspersky.
I used to work for a major research university and they switched to Kaspersky. It baffled me that any foreign AV was permitted, let alone one made in a hostile country.

No one that knows what an AV is even uses an AV.
Hot take, genuinely hoping that you’re not one of those “common sense” people.
