They really decided to be annoying to the very end. Typical Kaspersky.
Super sketchy Russian software.
I'd say they wanted to be nice (although a bit creepy) but communication issues.
Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.
Let me guess, UltraAV whitelabels Kaspersky…
No, since that would be sanctioned as well.
In Soviet Russia anti-virus is pro-virus!
Ironic
I feel this is super air quotey "UltraAV" lol, i might toss the hard drive if this happened to me
Frankly, if you've got untrustworthy software with that level of access and a threat model dangerous enough to throw out the hard drive, you'd probably better throw out the whole computer instead. In addition to the hard drive controller, malicious code could persist in the UEFI firmware, the graphics card firmware, or even in the Intel IME/AMD PSP subsystems.
jfc....
