Slightly off topic, but I was looking at anti-virus software recently and I noticed that the government banned Kaspersky because of “potential ties to the Russian government” and I had no idea because that software used to be everywhere. The American government is a big, embarrassing cry baby it’s hilarious.
My understanding is that, in the year 2025, there is no consumer desktop antivirus software that’s not more harmful than helpful for the average person. The consensus seems to be that modern OS built-in virus protection is enough.
