Kaspersky deletes itself, installs UltraAV antivirus without warning

Not much is known about UltraAV besides being part of Pango Group, which controls multiple VPN brands (e.g., Hotspot Shield, UltraVPN, and Betternet) and Comparitech (a VPN software review website).

“Not much is known”.

That’s exactly what you want to hear about a security software vendor whose products require priviledged access to your computer.

Also, they own multiple VPN brands and run a VPN review site? Oh, I’m sure they’re unbiased in their reviews and are definitely not up to anything sketchy.

You either die an antivirus or live long enough to become a virus.

Btw VPN “review” sites are ALL pay to play. You give them enough money and they will give you a give review. None of them are legit. (Worked for a major company and ran their vpn product). The entire vpn industry is extremely corrupt.

Is UltraAV just Kaspersky under a new name to circumvent federal restrictions on the company?

UltraAV sounds like some porn site

UltraAV super number #1 best happy antivirus!

Geee this sounds EXACTLY why the Fed put out a warning about them.

Brothers and sisters in christ, all you need is basic windows defender and good practice

Installing an application that the user didn’t actively approve is exactly what antivirus and anti malware applications are meant to prevent.

We get banned in country? No problem, we just install different program!

Imagine using a Russian antivirus

I wish McAffe would delete itself.

Comrades you must love UltraAV! It is not a Russian spying tool and totally unrelated to Kaspersky at all!

Never touched an anti virus software for a long time. Windows defender is just fine.

I pulled out from using Kaspersky three years ago and pivoted to Bitdefender. I’m super glad now I did so

Reason #129 why antivirus software is literally malware

Windows defender, just that you don’t even have to install anything.

Listen up TikTok. This is all you need to do to avoid the government ban!!

That’s interesting. Pango, which makes who knows what, owns Ultra AV. But, Pango is owned by Aura who makes a fairly respectible IT Security product.
