    Rather than making your system more secure, flaws in Kaspersky's
    antivirus libraries could be opening a new door for attackers

    Well, I tried Kaspersky and disliked the interface. Glad I'm using 'BullGuard' now, seems very reliable and catches everything it seems.
    New Sig on the Way...

    Worrying flaw which I'm sure will be patched soon - no AV will allow a vulnerbility like that to last long.

    Love Kaspersky BTW - it's scanning engine is second to none - particuarly its ability to detect virus within compressed file formats.
