JAKARTA - With the ban on the use of Kaspersky security solutions, several Kaspersky users in the region said their cybersecurity software was automatically replaced with a new one called UltraAV.

In some posts on Reddit discovered by TechCrunch, Kaspersky said Wake up and Kaspersky are completely missing from my system with the recently installed Ultra AV and Ultra VPN (not by me, but automatically while I'm sleeping)

But on the other hand, several other customers admitted that they received emails from Kaspersky, related to its security software transition to UltraAV.

The transition comes months after the US government made a decision banning all of Kaspersky's software sales across the United States. But after that, Kaspersky was allowed to provide customers with limited security updates until September 29.

On the UltraAV site it says that, if you are a paying Kaspersky customer, once the transition is complete, UltraAV protection will be active on their devices, and they will be able to take advantage of all the additional premium features.

There has been no statement from Kaspersky. However, the website has notified all users that by mid-September, they will receive an email notification when the UltraAV is ready for use.
