Kaspersky virus protection
I have just been advised to delete my Kaspersky anti-virus protection. Anyone else considering getting rid of Kaspersky? If so, what will you use instead?

For Windows 10, I use the built in Windows Defender.

It's funny, I hadn't given this any thought until now.

I thought there was a heads up to not use Kaspersky 6-9 months ago? Certain I read that.

I had a notice for the same a few weeks back...figured it was a scam.
Never had Kaspersky.....Windows Defender works great.

Yea, one tech writer talked of how Kaspersky was very close to Russian government, and he advised to not use it. I would never use a Chinese anti-virus based program either.

For home or business?
The new ones are behaviour/AI based rather than just signature. They also have the ability to roll back should you get ransomware that encrypts your machine.
