Mind boggles why these people are not using Windows defender in the 1st place...

Mine gave me an error I was unprotected I had to login to the website to update to fix the issue and re verify my account after the update via email.
"Event: Update error
Component: Protection
Reason: The update source cannot be found"
I've already updated though removing may not help.

I will be continuing to use 7-Zip until a suitable alternative is made available which is either just as good or better than 7-Zip.
7-Zip has never asked for network access, so I have no reason to suspect it.
Man of Honour
Yeah why stop using 7-zip? Pure political outcry for an otherwise perfectly fine tool. Defender on the other hand is the only AV suit needed on Windows. uBlock Origin on your browser (it's available on all major browsers) thereafter for ad and tracking source blocking etc.

Because a free and open source file archive software made by a single Russian developer is obviously the same as security software made by a Russian company with FSB links?
You'll probably be fine with Kaspersky, but with what is going on security concerns are not illogical. Personally I uninstalled it shortly after the invasion started.
The people advising to uninstall Kaspersky and use Microsoft Security Essentials shouldn't be trusted either. Microsoft Security Essentials hasn't existed for near on 5 years.
But yes, uninstall Kaspersky. It is and always has been utter tripe.

All sleeper agents. Or so Marvel say.If you think *YOU* have a dilemma, what about all the poor saps with those internet Russian brides??

I would avoid playing Tetris too.

Stopped using Kaspersky when Barclays did away with the free perk and with the whole Russia thing even back then, I didn't see the need to renew it. Windows Defender was getting better and better results on AV comparatives website so have stuck with the baked in option ever since.
