It's a bad new... Of course the users lost Kaspersky to McAfee... performance and detection...
The author also recommends avast instead of AOL 8)

Their computer is horrendously slow. I always give my condolences to them for having purchased the software, and immediately install Avast (or sometimes AVG). I’ve yet to see someone complain that their computer is extremely slow after doing that.

The strong implication is that existing users can continue with Kaspersky support.
