From Russia, with love.... The Kaspersky Anti-Virus Engine is of superior quality. I want to destroy speculation and rumors that the KAV engine is "slow". Scanning is clearly and measurably faster then most (if not all) of it's commercial counterparts. Scanning ONLY starts to suffer when the engine's security heuristics are moved to maximum levels due to so-called "hostile environments".
To me, detection/protection ability trumps speed 100% of the time so speed is not of a very great concern to me (especially since the move to multi-core CPU's and SSD's in almost all of my systems). Anyway, The "proactive defense" mechanism provided by these geniuses, is among the most stable and simple-to-understand that I have seen. The interface is very well-organized and intuitive versus some of the other bloated garbage being peddled out there.
Second to NONE unpacking capability. Kaspersky AV engine successfully unpacks more types of packing schemes then any other antivirus. I'm amazed. Of course, I do not use ANY antivirus on my systems as it is unnecessary for me. What i'm saying here is basically IF I DID HAVE TO CHOOSE one, then I'd go with Kaspersky products. And actually I DO for my clients. The SECRET to keeping everything trim and running super-fast is to ONLY install the AntiVirus & proactive defense components. All other components are absolutely UNNECESSARY BLOAT which are warranted only under extreme circumstances such as your client(s) being hard-core computer illiterates.
I can say much more about the engine but i think what i've said already will do nicely.
