Hi Tracy,
I found a half-price ad for Bitdefender in PC magazine. The url is attached. I don't know how long it will last, but I would grab it. I just snagged it to put it on my friend's devices. Some versions work simultaneously on both Windows and Mac (both tablets, computers, and phones) Also on Android phones. Some versions will cover up to 5 computers/devices.
I have used it for maybe 8 years and it has kept me safe. It talleys (sp?) all the threats it captures on an ongoing basis and also protects against ransomware and crypto mining. It also does vulnerability assessments.
Check it out.
Regards, Lori Parkinson

Tracy,
I understand that it's a good idea to stop using Kaspersky antivirus and just take your loss.
I have been using the paid version of Malwarebytes anti-malware for many years, and I'm very happy with it.

Folks -
I renewed my Kaspersky antivirus/security system software earlier in January and just learned this week that they're forced to leave the U.S. (they're Russian) and their software will be on limited funcitonality beginning in September. However, when I check My Kaspersky, my subscription page says it's already on "limited functionality" whatever that means.
Given that one of my credit cards was compromised a week ago - one that I've only used with Paypal (which has always been reliable) and the library and never used outside my apartment -- I'm getting concerned that my computer is unsafe. I had done a full system scan a week ago but that was with Kaspersky --- and apparently they're gradually stopping upgrading their databases.
Does anyone have any more information about how safe they are now?
Do you recommend I soon de-install them and get another antivirus/security/firewall setup?
If so, what do you believe is the most secure (and hopefully under $100/year)
I have Windows 11.
I'm angry because I'm on a very very tight budget now due to an ongoing medical condition and have nearly six months left on my subscription.
Please email privately - unless others on this list also have Kaspersky concerns.
Tracy Marks
p.s. I deleted last week's emails from this group unread due to time-consuming crises the past week, so I apologize if the Kaspersky situation has already been discussed.
