Just a heads up for anyone running Kaspersky that version 8 was publically released on Monday and it's a free upgrade for anyone running version 6 or 7.
Product Updates
According to AV Comparitives, heurtistics detection (detection of unsignatured malicious code) is up substantially (21% to 49%). There are also a bunch of new features as well.

I just downloaded it today, so I haven't really used it enough to say whether I like it or not, but the computer starts quicker and the interface is easier to use, although the program itself consumes more memory when idling (~40 MB (KIS 8) up from ~25 MB (KIS 7) using Windows Vista 64-bit and ~25 MB (KAV 8) up from ~15 MB (KAV 7) using Windows XP) and scans take more CPU utilization under Vista (but not XP, oddly); KIS 8 uses both cores under Vista, only uses 1 core under XP.
