“President Trump has signed into law an order banning the use of Kaspersky Lab products within US government organisations,” V3 reports. “For months, government officials have been clearing the Moscow-based cyber security company’s products from the networks of US federal agencies, a task that is now more-or-less completed. ”
“Jeanne Shaheen, the Democratic senator who had been upping pressure on the government to ban the software, praised Trump’s decision to sign the directive,” V3 reports. “‘The case against Kaspersky is well-documented and deeply concerning. This law is long overdue,’ she claimed. She described the company’s software as a ‘grave risk’ to America’s national security.”
V3 reports, “Kaspersky Lab has denied the allegations, and to distance itself from them it has begun submitting the source code of its products for inspection to third-party organisations – yet nevertheless recently closed its Washington DC sales office.”

MacDailyNews Take: How about purging the government of shoddy operating systems that require such processor-sapping “anti-virus” crap in the first place?

MDN take. Dream on, it will never happen. US Gov’t is a Microsoft shop now and forever.
Our President Trump is awesome. He keeps his promises, brings back jobs, makes Wall Street hit unseen levels, kills all sort of costly regulations, reduces taxes, etc…
Trump, the M.A.G.A. President.
Bravo to Trump for make AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. He brings the jobs home slowly but surely. The Chinese started to feel the impact of it. So Chinese media blames the U.S for its economic slow down. White people living in China are being mistreated for that matter. Finally, the table has been turned slowly but surely.
Don is working with Vlad…it’s in the news, you know. Just this weekend, Don notified Vlad about a potential terrorist attack. What’s next?
Soooo… What you seem to insinuate is that,.. “It is OK for, “Russian Citizens” to be bombed and terrorized”?
Where are the special investigators of the Uranium One FIASCO!?

iJah, I think you need to put the doobie down because it’s made your brain a little foggy. The mirage post was complete sarcasm. Collusion is a complete Mirage and the fallacy needs to drive itself off the cliff.
This is the exact kind of stupidity that caused the Ds to run the most corrupt candidate in modern history and allowed Trump to win. Thanks and keep it up!
“buh…buh…muh RUSHUNS!”
