    Hi crcurran,

     

    I understand your concern and would like to reassure you and all of our Central customers, that we closely monitor and review all 3rd party software that we use.  Disabling the Automatic Updates feature will result in the software being removed but, there is also a One2Many script that you can run. I have shared your feedback with the product team.

Hello,

 

The Kaspersky software updater should only be installed if you opt a computer to be part of the Applications feature. ( in your Central console, under application you need to set a computer to be either Automatically update or Manually update) if neither of those are checked the program does not get installed. 

 

BangHeadHere the Kaspersky Endpoint Protection software will attempt to uninstall any local av's it finds, but again the admin needs to choose to push the KES to the users. 

 

Best,

 

Vitor

Vitor, 

 

This is incorrect. On all of the computers in my account this software was installed. None of them are marked for automatic updates. LogMeIn should stop misleading its customers when it knows better. 

 

LogMeIn is either guilty of incompetence or negligence - in either case its business practices are shady.

    I don't think they have to be marked for automatic updates in Windows.  If they are subscribed to Application Updates in LogMeIn Central, Kaspersky Software Updater will be installed.
