   Reviewing 11.0.2.537 CF2 Beta (Sep 23, 2010)

   I'm addicted to CIS 'cause of it's inclusion of a firewall into its antivirus software

   Reviewing 8.0.0.1082 Technical Preview (Jun 22, 2010)

   I was running McAfee previously and if I had to run a scan of any kind, I may as well just walk away from the PC and let it run. With Kaspersky, I can run a scan of any kind and still use my PC as if there was nothing else running. Kaspersky is not a resource hog so it allows you to run multiple programs without bogging down. I like the detailed reports on any detections as well, and even how the reports show you what needs to be done to resolve the issues.

   1. Thrashes your HDD by constantly (every 5 seconds) writing to registry - reasons are unknown and never disclosed (the exact location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\kl1\OutData and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\kl1\InData).
   2. Thrashes your HDD by constantly updating virus signatures cache files (and never cleans cache files directory and this directory can grow to several hundred megabytes).
   2. Implication from point 2: causes excessive files fragmentation.
   
   Otherwise it's the *best* AV around.

   Great anti-virus software, only downside is that recent versions have made my system slow down considerably. I installed MSE as a comparison, and the difference in performance greatly favoured MSE. KAV seems to keep scanning the same core files over and over again even though it has settings to not do this.

   Best Antivirus suite ever. Not a sh!t like NOD32.
