Interesting.  I looked on AVtest and UltraAV is nowhere to be found.  Is this simply Kaspersky Total Security or other Kaspersky package repackaged under a different name to get around the USA ban?

Hello,

UltraAV is a different company and our trusted partner. You can find more information about UltraAV at https://UltraSecureAV.com

FWIW, ultrasecureav.com has been around for all of 2 months (https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/ultrasecureav.com). Without too much digging, my bet is KAV has incorporated out of RU and is "reselling" as UAV. I guess we'll all find out once we install the "new" product! 😉

After they actually confirmed the communication is from the company, this is also my bet. I they are just doing a "rebranding", i am taking it. But still quite a feat to try to position a well-known product into a very random existent one. We will see how this goes
