Enlarge (credit: Kaspersky Lab) The Biden administration will ban all sales of Kaspersky antivirus software in the US starting in July, according to reporting from Reuters and a filing from the US Department of Commerce (PDF). The US believes that security software made by Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab represents a national security risk, and that the Russian government could use Kaspersky's software to install malware, block other security updates, and "collect and weaponize the personal information of Americans," said US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. “When you think about national security, you may think about guns and tanks and missiles,” said Raimondo during a press briefing, as reported by Wired.
