The fact that they were able to do this without needing to update the software is concerning, makes me wonder what they were able to do so far below everyone’s radar.
Also from an attempt to research it seems ultraav isn generally not trusted for a good reason, but I can’t find if it’s confirmed malicious or not

It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).
Maybe check out **the canonical page** instead: **[https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/kaspersky-deletes-itself-installs-ultraav-antivirus-without-warning/](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/kaspersky-deletes-itself-installs-ultraav-antivirus-without-warning/)**
