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

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

> 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.

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

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.

Between this and the account deletions that don’t cancel auto-renewals, I’m starting to think this ‘Kaspersky’ fella is getting desperate.

Sorry can someone clarify this? Should I remove my Kaspersky and sign up with another security company?

How DO you get rid of it? Asking for a friend…

If you still have Kapersky on your computer, you kinda deserve this.

With my experience working on cybersec, I laugh at all of the people thinking AV is a moneygrab…
Being a programmer doesn’t make you an expert in security, on the contrary, is one of the most guillible profiles

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

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