Starting Thursday, Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky deleted its anti-malware software from customers’ computers across the United States and automatically replaced it with UltraAV’s antivirus solution.
This comes after Kaspersky decided to shut down its U.S. operations and lay off U.S.-based employees in response to the U.S. government adding Kaspersky to the Entity List, a catalog of “foreign individuals, companies, and organizations deemed a national security concern” in June.
On June 20, the Biden administration also announced a ban on sales and software updates for Kaspersky antivirus software in the United States starting September 29, 2024, over potential national security risks.
So they… prove that they’re a threat out of spite?
I don’t want to sound too harsh but this kinda shit is why everyone has always said not to download kaspersky.
Viruses installing other Viruses is very common. That’s why Windows installs more Spy- and Adware regularly.
