Hello,

As you may know, the US authorities have restricted the sales and distribution of Kaspersky products in the US, but we remain committed to providing you with the utmost cybersecurity. And as we’re forced to limit our cybersecurity products in functionality, we give you an opportunity to get a replacement security solution by our trusted partner — UltraAV.
UltraAV will be activated under your existing subscription and login information, license duration and device coverage are carried over, and there is no price increase. There’s no effort needed from your side, and your Windows apps will update automatically – only very old Windows app versions, Android, Mac and iOS apps require manual update, which we additionally inform you about in corresponding in-app communications.

On 9/19 Kaspersky pushed a software update that enabled the transition to the UltraAV product. This update was designed for seamless transition with limited user intervention required.

Also - this is an Official Statement from Kaspersky and UltraAV on the recent update

Following the recent decision by the U.S. Department of Commerce that prohibits Kaspersky from selling or updating certain antivirus products in the United States, Kaspersky partnered with antivirus provider UltraAV to ensure continued protection for US-based customers that will no longer have access to Kaspersky’s protections.

Kaspersky and UltraAV worked closely to ensure customers would maintain the standards of security and privacy users have come to expect from their service.

UltraAV includes comparable features such as:

●     Industry-leading antivirus protection - Protects against malware, spyware, ransomware, adware and more

●     Premium VPN - Prevents your data from being intercepted, and allows you to surf the web anonymously and enjoy global content.

●     Password Manager - Create strong passwords, securely store them in one place, and autofill them with just a few clicks.

●     Identity Theft Protection - Comprehensive Identity protection including credit monitoring with real-time alerts, immediate support, and $1 million in insurance coverage

Please reference this chart to see how UltraAV delivers the high-level of security provided in your previous service.

Kaspersky has additionally partnered with UltraAV to make the transition to their product as seamless as possible, which is why on 9/19, U.S. Kaspersky antivirus customers received a software update facilitating the transition to UltraAV. This update ensured that users would not experience a gap in protection upon Kaspersky’s exit from the market.

To learn more about UltraAV, visit their website. If you have more questions about the transition, please review the frequently asked questions or contact their support team.

Please post a link to a kaspersky full uninstaller AND a full uninstaller for UltraAV and VPN and whatever other software was  installed without express permission. I want everything OFF.

Good afternoon, everyone!

Please pay attention to the forum rules: https://forum.kaspersky.com/guidelines/ 

I do not want UltraAV and replied back to the email I just received a few days ago announcing this.  I already signed up and installed Bitdefender as originally instructed back in July!  Why the last minute change?? I DO NOT WANT UltraAV installed on my computer.

If you are in the USA and don't have Kaspersky installed, then UltraAV won't be pushed to your computer. Looks like you have BitDefender which would have required you to uninstall any other AV products.

So, it seems that an "India Startup" named UltraAV(eerily almost identical to UltraViewer, one of the Remote Desktop softwares that Indian scammers use to scam millions of dollars a month from unknowing scammees) buys the AV rights from an "untrusted entity" Kaspersky.  The scammers have most likely, in my opinion, 100-upped themselves and achieved access to ALL American Kaspersky customers information!!  Thank God i only used the free version and never do any banking or purchases from my desktop!!!  Welp, time to reinstall Windows 11 X-Lite and start over...

No 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.
