Kaspersky Antivirus “Magically” Replaced Without Notice
In response to the U.S. government’s ban on Kaspersky products, the Russian cybersecurity firm has automatically replaced its antivirus software on American computers with UltraAV, without prior warning. The sudden switch occurred through an automatic update on September 19, 2024, following Kaspersky’s inclusion on the U.S. Entity List due to national security concerns.
