Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab has confirmed that it will officially end its U.S. operations on July 20, 2024, following sanctions from the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), imposed on back in June. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Commerce has added Kaspersky Lab and its affiliates to the Entity List, preventing American businesses from engaging with them.

Do you have a link? Because google doesn't come up with much when searching for Super Cool Chinese Antivirus or even SCCA

The name must be along the way of "Real Zen Safety"

There is an antivirus called Zen or at least they used to be about 20 years ago. It wasn't Chinese though.
