Great way to prove the US right that your software is untrustworthy... could've just shut up and complied instead of installing crap with no notice on people's systems.
Notice that UltraAV belongs to UltraVPN, company that looks like it's under Chinese control (despite ban on VPNs they are suspiciously allowed to operate there)
UltraAV is basically non-existent outside of this news, so it likely is Kaspersky in new skin too bypass federal regulation.
