In the manual[0] they have "Remove CoinVault" as a step to do before you check whether the Kaspersky site has the key that will decrypt your files.

People probably want to keep CoinVault around in case the key isn't known and they want to pay the ransom.

Don't know about Coinvault specifically, but others give you a program along with the key if you pay.

Besides, you can always use Kaspersky's tool with a paid for key.
