AirVPN and Kaspersky Internet Security

[Philiberti 9]

Hi, I'm not sure if anyone can help or if this is the right forum for this problem, but here goes. I've been running AirVPN on a laptop for some time and recently Kaspersky has flagged a problem with updating the database, the updated runs for a couple of seconds before stopping and reverting to request for update. I watch quite a lot of USA content and am wondering if using American servers is causing the problem - if I disconnect Eddie I can run updates but this has never been a problem before. Kaspersky has been having problems in the USA due to perceived links to the Russian goverment and I don't know if this is a factor.
Has anyone else running Kaspersky had any problems?
I'm running Windows 11.

Regards
