This is all very interesting as I own a computer shop in England (Leeeds) called X-tra Byte. I am a fan of kaspersky for a number of reasons….It doesn't hammer your PC the way others tend to. It provides hourly updates, so you are comfortable that things are up to date. I rebuild maybe 20-30 PC's a week for my customers and when I put kaspersky on, they don't come back to me with virus issues, but they do recommend people to me as they know I am delivering a no-bullshit service. noone's perfect, but Kaspersky is quite granular, and I really like to know that I can either sell it to a customer who is not great with PC's, or someone who wants a bit more control etc and they will be pretty safe….

I am probably little late in commenting, but here is what I have observed.
My old windows xp came with a free 1 year license of Norton Antivirus,

After upgrading to vista, I shifted to kaspersky (it was the top rated antivirus s/w)

if i compare these 2 AV software, I would definitely rate Kaspersky way ahead of Norton.
UI is pretty slick and user friendly, virus detection is top notch and I haven’t much performance difference by running kaspersky :)

I TRIED A TRIAL VERSION OF KASPERSKY & I THOUGHT IT IS “THE BEST” ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE OUT IN THEIR.

Although the Kaspersky v7 has a lot of modifications from the previous edition, one major drawback is its pathetic healing abilities. If a file is infected with spyware, it will delete the file in most cases. So, if you spent an entire afternoon downloading your favourite movie and it is infected, you are in for a lot of trouble.

I don’t think many of us can afford this risk.

I would suggest the Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2007, costing just a shy more than Kaspersky [$ 40], but has a lot to offer.

I’m using Free AVs too. I think Kaspersky is not so compatible with my PC. Every time installed the application, my pc become slower.

I have never tried Kaspersky, nowadays I’m using Free AVs. Will try the trial version.
