I have tried to contact you all about getting a refund for this subscription. I do not want to use Ultra AV as an alternative to Kaspersky. I would rather have my money back for the remaining time left on my subscription, which was set to renew March 28, 2026. Please help

Hello @Del B

Welcome!

  • This is an opinion *only* do not shoot the messenger -> we don't know IF Kaspersky is/are giving refunds -> there's not much Community "chatter" about the topic & Kaspersky have a 30-day money-back guarantee.  
  1. Read: How your subscription works, RefundsYou can request a refund up to 30 days from the date you were charged.
  2. Read: Guide on Kaspersky software availability in the United States, Purchasing and renewal, Subscriptions and automatic renewal
  3. Read: UAV FAQ, When did Kaspersky stop billing me for my service?: "Kaspersky stopped billing monthly and annual customers in June 2024. Billing with UltraAV will resume in October 2024". 
  4. Read: UAV - How can I get a refund?: "If you purchased your subscription with Kaspersky before October 1st, we are unable to issue a refund on our end, as your purchase was not made with us."
  5. To log a request with Kaspersky Customer Service  - https://support.kaspersky.com/b2c#contacts , they have access to (your) subscription & private information, for privacy reasons, the Kaspersky Community doesn't  -> on the support page, select either Email or Chat, then fill in the template as shown; note - to fill in the template please select (your) software & include a *detailed history*:   image.thumb.png.57332bf4456b1ede51b438d66f197e30.png
  • *Also - IF using Chat - *before* ending the chat -> ask the operator to email (you) a copy of the chat transcript - otherwise (you'll) have no record of the chat      

Please share the outcome with the Community, when it's available? 
Thank you🙏

Hi,

So I followed the instructions listed about getting their chat support, but it just loops back to wanting to send an email. I have tried the other options as well, but I cannot get a reply... I am kind of stuck in terms of what to do...

I want my money back. Where are my programs, all are removed from me downloading.

ultra av is garbage and doesn't work, can't log in, took hours to uninstall, side installed without my permission.

I was willing to use VPN to get updates and give the finger to the government that can't tell me what to do, Kaspersky screwed that up why?

GIVE ME MY REFUND!

Hello @Bane

Welcome!

To date we have not heard much chatter about successful refunds - but - you're certainly able to make the request. 

The Kaspersky Community cannot facilitate this for (you), for your own privacy & security, your information is not available to the Community. 

From Ultra: How can I get a refund? "If you purchased your subscription with Kaspersky before the transition started, we are unable to issue a refund as your purchase was not made with us."

From Kaspersky: How to request a refund?:

In case you purchased the subscription via the Kaspersky website or My Kaspersky, contact Kaspersky Customer Service, https://support.kaspersky.com/b2c#contacts - select Email & fill in the template as shown below || Note, please select the Kaspersky software (you) had or have:                                                                    image.thumb.png.dfcfb74a72b006552f82aa02c4efebd4.png

Please provide the following information:

  • The date of the purchase
  • Your full name
  • The email address that you have used for the purchase
  • Order number from the confirmation email. 

If you made your purchase via a different Kaspersky partner, contact them directly.

Thank you🙏

Kaspersky took my money not ultra av. Ultra av costs $3.99, and this is what you guys thought was acceptable, with no warning, no email, really! This is how all your customers will be treated, this won't go over well. This is bad business!

My auto renewal was already turned off but my subscription was to expire 2/16/26. I saw that you installed UltraAV on my system without my approval and uninstalled it immediately. I never logged into UltraAV so my account was never activated on their site.

I want a refund for the remainder of the time that is on my subscription. Prorated of course.

How to I go about getting this done?

Thanks

Just want to share my experience.  I did find the functionality of emailing Support to be problematic based on what I have seen others say.  I counted "Chat" out as most likely to be a waste of time.  However, after stewing for some time over both the stupid Trump provision which led to this ban and of course, this UltraAV crap, I decided to give the Chat function a go.  I immediately had a person, and I asked about a refund as I had purchased a multiyear plan and since I would not be using the UltraAV that was being reported everywhere as being automatically pushed on to people's systems.  The rep stated he understood my request and asked if I was willing to wait 2 - 4 minutes so they could look into this.  I was fine with this but truly expected nothing.

The rep came back and said their payment systems where down and could they contact me later via email.  Again, I agreed.  Minutes later I received an email response. The answer sucks as I will not be using UltraAV but I did think to myself, I don't think it is a bad idea at all for myself and others to let the government know how we feel.  They imposed the ban, they stole my product without my consent.  IT's okay for Mitch Mcconnell or other rich idiots to accept donations, pay and gifts from Russian entities but they had to use some excuse for political tough guy action so why not abruptly force Americans to give up a product they paid for, a product obviously we trusted.  It's okay for us to outsource call center jobs to who knows what entities are behind them.  Healthcare networks are outsourcing everything from Billing to Prior Authorizations...most are not US based and I have found many to be fairly newer companies formed with CEO's and foreign "equity partners."   I'll get off my soapbox but interesting that the subject line of the email was "Refund: Geopolitical Situation!"  How great is that.  Never thought little ole me would be involved in a "Geopolitical Situation." 🤣

My accounts are valid until august of 2025.  I am not interested in migrating to some random anti virus.  I will choose my provider myself.  IF I cannot have the service I purchased I want my remaining money refunded.

  • The title was changed to Refund

I bought this product right before the ban, without realizing it was going to happen a month later. I kept using Kaperskey right up to the end. 

I thought it was a great deal, 224 dollars, with a locked in 89 dollar annual renewal for total security.

Now, I have UltraAV, which locked me out of my system and keeps telling me to subscribe to unlock a VPN I was supposed to have access too, it's minimal features are garbage, and on top of it all, it blue screened my computer, and installed a bunch of "Scape Goat" files I can't delete.

The fact that they can just install new products on my PC, is probably a sign I have bigger problems.

I am beyond livid that I've been had, and they are laughing with my 224 dollars.

What a terrible way to have your reputation tanked. Issue our refunds. 0% of your customers want UltraAV.

They substituted it so they wouldn't have to do the right thing: Issue Refunds. I uninstalled this garbage you used to circumvent our permission, and we are actively preparing a legal basis for this misuse of everyone's personal information, billing information, and the like. We hope to cripple Kaspersky financially as we have seen your reputation is already irreparable. Issue refunds for all or this will be cumbersome for the organization.

I will thank you, because now I check ALL my software to ensure its not coming from Russia. What a way to continue the narrative about Russian's ethics and actions, disgusting.

This statement alone is a lie as they provided our information to UltraAV. There will be a class action suit against them. Keep an eye out for it.

I too got this Ultra AV install without giving my authorization, and now my PC has these directories named "!" in every hard drive. They come back a few minutes after I delete them. It's a concern. This is horseSHT!

I'm paid through 2025 with Kaspersky, now stuck with this other app that corrupted my drive. I expect Kaspersky support to tell me to go pound sand and get help form the Ultra AV folks. If anyone figures out how to clean their system from these corrupted installs, please advise.

I don't blame Kaspersky for the diplomatic situation, but I do blame them for the nonchalance with which they treat their US customers. One day, they'll probably be allowed to do business in the US again, but the Kaspersky brand is destroyed, as far as I'm concerned. They should have 1) given advance warning (they're good about spamming your system with upsale pitches, why not tell us we're losing KAV through the same channel, in advance? Instead, they went poof with our money. They should NOT have allowed the remote install of some shoddy software alternative that seems to create all this weird data in my drives and now I can't clean this SHT up.

Very disappointed, Kaspersky. I've been using you guys for 10 years at least, for 3 PC's. You'll never have my business again.

What steps can consumers take to protect their rights and seek refunds when a company substitutes products or misuses personal information, as seen in the case with UltraAV and Kaspersky?
