The retailer is certainly referring to a number of US government agencies pulling their support for the security software, and recommending that it not be used on government computers. As the cybersecurity firm is based in Moscow, Best Buy says its decision is based on concerns over connections Kaspersky has to the Russian government.Īccording to the Star Tribune newspaper, Best Buy said it felt there were "too many unanswered questions" with regard to Kaspersky Lab's vulnerability to Russian government influence, and that the removal of the products was "prompted by media reports, congressional testimony, and industry discussion." PC users will no longer be able to find the well-known internet security software from Kaspersky Lab at Best Buy, as the electronics retailer has pulled the products, both from store shelves and online.
