Do you use Kaspersky Anti Virus?
« on: December 02, 2017, 09:17:43 AM »
There have been rumblings online for the past wee while about potential security risks with several applications authored by Russian companies, mostly emanating from the US who are a bit paranoid about anything east (or west    :) ) of their shores.

The UK government have now decided that there may be some truth in this and have issued a warning to government departments about using Kaspersky Labs anti virus software.

Its not an app I use, but I'm sure many others on here do.   Here's the article, worth a read: BBC

Good to see the UK National Cyberspace Security Centre are keen fans of Dad's Army: "Whatever you do, don't panic".
