Thanks for the share! The test in very informative, like always with AV C tests, :)

EDIT: So if KAV is so good, is KIS the same? In my knownleadge they share the same engine and functionalities, just KIS has extra features, like firewall and such...

I've tried many times to convince myself to move from KIS to some other Internet Security(for example VIPRE premium).....

but I couldn't find any reason for that to now :D

Yes, KIS is KAV+more stuff, so KIS will protect you even better.

I can't believe that KAV is faster than NAV in case of scan speed. :s

I am skeptical of such results.

I often clean customers machines that come in with either McCrappee or Norton, and they will be badly infected. Even after using other cleaners, I'll finish with MSSE and it will still find stuff that others missed, including the original AV.

Plus, I wish these tests would take into account the impact on system resources. People with older machines should not be running the bloated suites that most of these vendors want to push.
