Many people have never even heard about Kaspersky AV. Once they read, that US agencies like NASA and others refuse to get rid of it, because it is so good, even-though it was banned, they will buy it for sure.

Best Buy halts sale of Kaspersky products amid Russian spying fears
Posted: 09 Sep 2017
Russia-based Kaspersky Labs has been in the news quite often lately. In July earlier this year, we reported that the US government was severing ties with the firm and removing its name from two lists of approved vendors, due to fears that it could - allegedly having ties to the Russian government through its founder Eugene Kaspersky - be hiding so-called backdoors within the software that could compromise national security.
Even though the company offered to allow security analysts to audit its software solutions, this has done little to alleviate these fears, and subsequently, the FBI announced that it recommended that companies, in particular within the energy sector, remove these products from their mission-critical systems.
