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):

The warning looks like the normal window, only the term is different.

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