Thats the proactive defense in the 2006 beta, not the heuristics. ;)

Kaspersky labs seem to use much more generic signitures than heuristics.

Please explain what proactive and heuristics are, as I always thought they were the same..

The proactive defence of KAV 2006 is a type of behaviour analyser / blocker.

Heurstics are traditionally via code comparison.

KAV detected 48% of viruses in the last AV Comparatives retrospective test (May 2005):

Interesting the direction that KAV is headed. It will be interesting to watch how KAV users react to behaviorally-based security.
