    If I had to guess I would say that at the moment, the Russian government isn’t meddling with Kaspersky. But if the Russian government got really desperate, they could always try to use Kaspersky as a vehicle for delivering malware.

      Are there any talks of banning pycharm? I’m not sure if an ide has the same privileges as a malware detector, but I’ve always been suspicious of it.
