    I confirm that I can't find it in EU.

    Google should split Play Store bussiness, so US laws and executive directives won't directly apply to EU customers. I wouldn't cry if EU would follow with same decision about Kaspersky ban but still it should be EU decision.

    Not just the EU. I am in Canada and can't get Kaspersky updates for my Samsung Galaxy phones any longer from Google Play. I have to rely on the Galaxy Store. I finally bit the bullet after the UltraAV nonsense and pulled the plug on my Kaspersky Premium 5-seat subscription that still had 19 months to go. I am very happy with the new ESET Smart Security Premium subscription.

    I'm still getting virus definition updates here is Oz, at least for now.

    @Krusty ,

    Sorry about that. I should have clarified that I cannot get Kaspersky version updates from the Google Play Store. Virus definitions work fine since they come from within the app without Google Play Store being involved.

    Have a great day.

    Regards,
    Phil

    Hi Phil,

    Thanks for clarifying. Yeah, I see what you mean. It's not in Google Play here now either. I don't have a Galaxy Store account so I guess I'm stuck with the version I have until I get around to removing it, or they find some other way to update it.

    Thanks for the info. :thumb:

    Cheers,
    Dave
