Ban in the EU ?

[steve33]

I live in the EU, can any one tell me what the situation is with regard to the ban. If it is implemented in the EU which is almost certain then what are the best solutions, given that I won't buy any US product.

I am so sick and tired of these petulant little s..theads.

I have been using Kaspersky for 15+years without any problems.

The EU is not involved in this issue and is a different subject.
I am located in the EU and will update this Topic when needed.

Keeping @steve33 informed @Berny

In the free world sharing information is considered to be democratic, sensible & healthy. 

IF *you* don't want a topic updated - lock it so no one runs afoul of your unknown rules. 

Thank you🙏

Please excuse me for not replying sooner but I was unable to. Thanks very much for the information. I am sorry if I was a little upset in my email but I am getting so sick and tired of this childish behaviour.  If the EU tries to bans it, and I can see it coming, it may be  that a member refuses and then individual members make their own reponses and Germany, France etc will also ban.

Can I still then update using VPN?

I refuse to give up Kaspersky, it has done a perfect job for me for so many years

Flood, when you say "IF *you* don't want a topic updated - lock it so no one runs afoul of your unknown rules." to what are you referring? Should I be locking the topic because I have no idea how to do so.

Hi Flood.

Many thanks for the information. I simply refuse to give up on kaspersky, it has done a perfect job for me and I will not swap to something else. The pressure from the US will be immense for the EU to tow the US line so I see an EU ban being very difficult to avoid. If there is no EU ban individual countries e.g. Germany, France will ban.

Do you know if I can use VPN to update and so avoid a ban? Also what is the maximum length extension I can purchase? 

Maybe I'll just have to move out of Europe.

• As far as we could see (you) were asking - IF - the same ban were to happen in Europe what would (you) do - we responded by providing (you) with the information that Kaspersky has published at this time. 
• The topic that we shared with (you), with information from @MedvedevUnited will be updated when it's available. 
• Various community members have been asking the VPN question in the topic we shared with you: US Government Ban on private use of Kaspersky anti-virus. 
• It's early days, none of us know more than what has been made available by @MedvedevUnited on behalf of Kaspersky.

Anticipations and speculations based on unofficial sources are unreliable and are creating confusion among our EU Forum members & Forum guests,  we first need real facts that are not based on hypotheses and probabilities.
