Apart from the 'pros', I dug up a few 'cons' and would be grateful if you
would comment on these, please:-

"Active Virus Shield represents a limited-functionality edition of Kaspersky
Anti-Virus 6.0 with the following restrictions:

1) Web Anti-Virus is disabled.

2) Quarantine is disabled.

3) Proactive Defence has been removed. This is a feature which scans all
process requests and alerts you of them, asking for your permission to
allow them or not. This is becoming the norm with security software. KAV6
has it, Spyware Terminator has it. I think it is the future of security
software. It is too bad they removed it.

4) Advanced settings of Anti-Virus package can not be changed.

5) Rescue Disk component is disabled."

TIA.
Cheers....................Kayman.

sounds like you wind up missing some of the best parts of kaspersky's
technology...

When I read so good words about F Secure my question is: how fast is its
engine? I'm using G Data Anti Virus Kit which employs 2 engines: Kaspersky
and something else (BitData, probably). It works fine as a shield.
However, each full scan takes over 20 hours! It makes me sick more then I'm
already are. I contacted G Data but didn't get any answer. So, I'm looking
for something "equally" good but much faster. Any suggestions? Free or
paid...

Speed = NOD32, then quit doing manual full scans; not necessary during
normal computing.
