JFC Kaspersky, uninstalling your software from US devices is fine, but installing a different AV without warning or consent is bananas. This is not how you exit a market.

they could've considered just leaving a notice of like "hey, Kaspersky AV is no longer available, but UltraAV can help" or something, but no they went for the highly suspicious route instead lol

IT WAS MY ANTIVIRUS

I had had Kaspersky from forever ago, I guess they got bought or something because it changed the app to ultraAV a few weeks ago? and I was busy at the time so just turned it off (because windows defender is fine on its own these days) so I could uninstall later OR SO I THOUGHT

UltraAV pissed me off for the last time.
So I'm turning it off and downloading Malwarebytes.

I don't think this migration was a good idea, in fact, this could be the dumbest way to have handled the situation.

Maybe it's not a good idea to have a software that deletes and installs stuff on your PC without your permission and sends your personal data to servers in Moscow...😬

Not cool. Even if it were well intentioned, you don't install software without consent.

Отакої.

Москальський антивір самостійно видалився (або ні?) з системи в Штатах і, без повідомлення юзера, встановив собі заміну.

І це ж коли дехто тицяв пальцем і казав що ця прога забагато прав вимагає, його радісно записували в параноїки

That reminds me I did find a replacement (Bitdenfeder, about on par with what I was using before UltraAV installed itself). Just haven’t gotten around to getting it yet.
