Link? I've been using it for years. Are you saying there will be no way to update the new viruses?I'd stop using Kaspersky on either machine- Kaspersky products are banned from Federal Government networks because of their association with the Russian government.

The Federal government is banning it for itself. It's not banned for private use. I've had good experience with it for around 7 years never having a virus that screwed up my machine. I previously used McAffee and Norton and always had virus problems. I don't want to give Russia business, but I'm hesitant to switch back to programs I had problems with.
That's what Scott posted and you asked for a link to.The Federal government is banning it for itself...

I quit using Kaspersky on my mac a few years ago because it was causing performance problems. Wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole now.
Leave the iMac alone! As far as Kaspersky, there is a constant threat cyber wise for governments and infrastructure. Often these attacks are made enlisting many computers working together to assult a security system.

Can someone answer my other question about Imac computers? Does it pay to load up a different anti-virus program or does the iMac use Apple virus programs automatically and are those sufficient?
Only if you're only checking email and the like and not shopping. True, OS systems such as Microsoft Defender do a good basic job but for many a more robust antivirus and firewall are necessary.Antivirus software in general doesn't make sense anymore.

I had problems with several antivirus programs on my Macs but, I'm using Avast security with satisfying success now for about 6 months.I quit using Kaspersky on my mac a few years ago because it was causing performance problems. Wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole now.
I'm not a babe in the woods. A retired electrical engineer. I can usually recognize the signs of a Web site that presents a security threat. Nonetheless, probably several times each month, when clicking on a search engine result for something I'm seeking information about, my Norton foils an attack on my PC. Well worth the relatively small annual fee, which pales in comparison to what one pays for the device and monthly ISP cost....Modern operating systems no longer need it, unless you're downloading and launching random software from the Internet all the time...
