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.

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.

We use a different application for 3rd party software so I actually had "Application Updates Disabled" set on every computer on my network since LMI's application update inception. When this went down, my Nessus scans revealed that LMI had installed the Kaspersky updater on every machine on my network, servers included. It was flagged as a Critical vulnerability on my network since it installs with improper permissions set on its .dlls
