"Application updater" is dangerously misleading.  Particularly in the context of the customers you are targeting.

 

We are not the people you want to be hiding things from.

 

"INSTALL KASPERSKY APPLICATION UPDATER AGENT" would be a meaningful radio button.  Clear intent, no surprises.

 

Giving us all heart attacks when the A/V starts sending alerts about silent background installs of Kaspersky that we didn't buy and didn't authorize...that is a strange choice for a company looking to build a loyal and long-term customer base among industry professionals.


Cut it out.
