This comes right on the heels of a bill to ban Kaspersky antivirus, which may simply be an interesting coincidence.

As unfortunate as it is, because Kaspersky is IMO the best AV for power users including detection for every type of attack under the sun (if you enable and configure it in the settings, you can set applications on a per-permission basis, so only apps that need network access, or user directory access, or system file access, or registry access can use it, and it can alert you to any changes or ask for permission.
