But the National Cyber Security Centre says Kaspersky anti-virus is safe for individual users.
Critical Infrastructure. announced it would write to all government departments, warning against using Kaspersky products for systems related to national security.
"We've not seen - and don't expect to see - the massive, global cyber-attacks that some had predicted," the NCSC's Ian Levy says in his blog.The UK already had advice from a few years back regarding use of products like Kaspersky anti-virus but this was confined to those involved in national security.
That has now led to a broader warning that a wider range of institutions - like those in critical infrastructure or who might be the targets of Russian retaliation - should think carefully about using any Russian products.
