<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any more information about how safe they are now?
<br>
Do you recommend I soon de-install them and get another
antivirus/security/firewall setup?
<br>
If so, what do you believe is the most secure (and hopefully under
$100/year)
<br>
I have Windows 11.
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
Please email privately - unless others on this list also have
Kaspersky concerns.

<br>
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.
