The US President Biden administration announced plans to ban the sale of anti-virus software manufactured by Russian Kaspersky Lab in the US, citing concerns that the company's software could pose a significant national security threat due to its privileged access to computer systems, allowing potential stealing of sensitive information, installation of malicious software, or blocking critical updates. The ban is set to take effect 100 days after the announcement, impacting Kaspersky's reputation and overseas sales, with US businesses having time to find alternatives.
