Call me paranoid but seems like if Kaspersky is indeed dodgy this would be a great way to get as much info/access as possible on the way out.

Agreed, AV has full access to your system and can take whatever they want and you'd never know.

Embattled Russian infosec shop Kaspersky is giving US customers six months of security updates for free
prevent it from distributing software updates and malware signatures to existing Stateside users after September 29.

I don't understand how the 6 months updates will work if they're prevented from updating the software after September 29.

Kaspersky is a really talented group.

Their talk at CCC about discovering a zero-click attack, managing to capture all the stages of the attack, finding four zero day vulnerabilities and discovering a previously unknown spyware that was there for years was a rollercoaster of a ride.

If you have the time to watch it I highly recommend it!
