Kaspersky Barclays - software no longer available at the moment (02 Dec 2017)
Received email from Barclays as follows:-
"We wanted to let you know about some information relating to Kaspersky anti-virus software following the information that’s been shared in the news today. We felt it was important to share with you the decisions we’ve made, as well as some key facts.
What you need to know
The UK Government has been advised by the National Cyber Security Centre to remove any Russian products from all highly sensitive systems classified as secret or above.
We’ve made the precautionary decision to no longer offer Kaspersky software to new users, however there’s nothing to suggest that customers need to stop using Kaspersky.
What should you do next?
At this stage there is no action for you to take. It’s important that you continue to protect yourself with anti-virus software. If you have any concerns, you could consider alternative anti-virus suppliers.
We’ll continue to take every practical measure to ensure that your personal and financial details remain as safe and secure as possible. One of those measures is Barclays Online and Mobile Banking Guarantee. For more details on this, visit our website and search Mobile Banking Guarantee.
We're here to help
We always like to hear from our customers. Should you have any questions, please call us and we'll be glad to help."
