You can’t buy Kaspersky products in the US anymore but you can still buy activation codes, apply them with a VPN, and continue to use their products. I got a North American code so I could keep using their password manager.
Hello,
As a reminder, this is a technical subreddit, not a political one.

I’m not from the states, but I did the same thing to avail of discounted serials. I also used a free VPN (Urban) just to activate the AV.
Someone told me in the sub that in the U.S. the VPN has to be turned on when updating the AV.
Just change your region
You walk a long distance to use malware that your country banned for a reason.
Why in hell would you use Kaspersky products?!

I’ve heard the same. For the password manager, you have to update it manually now except for iOS which recently had a new update. How long they’ll keep doing it for iPhone, I don’t know. If you want to be safe and download program updates and apk’s direct from the Kaspersky site, you have to use a VPN. I didn’t want to give up the password manager because it works so well. Glad I found a solution.

Shitty politics isn’t a good reason.
Some people prefer Kaspersky over other security products, what’s wrong?
Fym? Some people prefer Kaspersky over other security products, what’s wrong?
Because it does what it’s supposed to do, doesn’t consume resources, good interface, easy to use, good value. Pretty sure others can add more. We all have our preferences and Kaspersky has proven to me over several years that it’s reliable.
