    Kaspersky isn't the best option for me, maybe it is for you. Saying it is a best option for everyone is silly. I found KAV crash prone and unstable as a product, therefore not good for me.

    funny...does an athlon xp 2000+ (1.67ghz) count as a 286? what about a 7200rpm hard drive? KAV is simply cpu intensive and Kaspersky acknowledges this in their help file.

    Such an exotic purpose needs heavy weapons...
    Zoo virii detection is an issue here.
    Against the web's dark side, I would recommend you to secure browsers (popups blocker, active X monitoring...) and using a really top notch antivirus (KAV based).
    And why not Viguard ? I'm using it on my machine, it's a blocker with rules and it's a wonderful tool.

    The 2006 range of kaspersky anti-virus doesn't seem (atleast here.... 2000+ AMD, 1GB RAM) to the CPU drag of the older versions. Lets hope it stays this way (or gets better) coming upto final.

    On a related note, a new plugin has been released that makes IE as safe and secure, and function exactly like Firefox.

    No, it's not a joke.

    do not use sandboxie on IE if u have foxie. it causes several error especially when u create a new tab. because of that i wasnt able to test if foxie rele does block malware. like VC, i say ur better off with either Maxthon or Avant.
