Kaspersky Anti-Virus (AVP) Kaspersky Anti-Virus: David vs. Goliath Forrest Stroud
Sometimes the little guy really does stand a chance against the giant. In a David vs. Goliath match-up, Kaspersky Anti-Virus easily holds it own against the likes of heavyweights Norton AntiVirus from Symantec and VirusScan from Network Associates. Kaspersky Anti-Virus is actually the new name for an old virus scanner, AntiViral Toolkit Pro (AVP), and even retains the abbreviated AVP moniker.
Developed by the Kaspersky Lab in Moscow, Russia, AVP conceals a great deal of power and virus expertise behind a rather plain interface. The subtle power of AVP is really only realized when you have an elusive virus that most other scanners skip over entirely or only partially disinfect. If the devil really is in the details, AVP is the one virus scanner you'll want to take with you if you ever need to make that trip way, way down under.
