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.
I just discovered that it is still happening. A brand new computer just rolled out a month ago that never had Kaspersky on it, now does. The user would have not installed the Kaspersky Software updater - it could have only come from Logmein Central. This is very concerning.
Talking to LogMeIn tech support, the engineer said they are not installing the Kaspersky Updater, he sia dhe is 100% positive sure LogMeIn anti-virus doesn't use the Kaspersky Updater.
I also spoke with a logmein tech about this. The kaspersky updater isn't part of an antivirus but is used for updating third party software. It's normal for all central installs if you want to be able to update non-microsoft software. It's a tool for updates.
Not sure why it was so difficult to get this answer from them.
