I found this antivirus called Active Virus Shield...and as far as I can tell from the pics//info on the page, it's Kaspersky Anti-Virus with a skin.

I used to have the official Kaspersky...but my key got blacklisted (yes...guilty, lol).  Now i'm stuck w/symantec antivirus corp edition (which i don't like very much).  I'm gonna give this AOL thing a try...hopefully it really IS kaspersky w/a skin.

Nice find man, I love the (legal) disclaimer.

i knew it was too good to be true...i got no email with an activation key, tried multiple email addresses as well

i think i'll go ahead and give AVG a try...i tried NOD32 as well, but it was too weird...and slowed down my bittorrent like crazy, and made my cpu usage go to 100% for about the first 5 minutes after turning on my pc

hopefully...they'll send the activation code though...i really liked Kaspersky

Yep, AVG is the way. Also while you are in there get their Anti spyware. At least when I got it (30 day trial) it turned into a free edition after the 30 days. It used to be the Edwido antispy.

yea i forgot about that, there antispyware is really good. Ive installed it on every computer at my office and i really don't have to do anything now with spyware.

wow, i thought AVG would use a lot more resources but i think it uses even less than NOD32 did (every website i went to said nod32 was like the god of low-resource-usage antivirus programs)
i got the anti-spyware as well, seems pretty cool.  i wish the avg antivirus gui was as spiffy as the anti-spyware gui

I think AVG is about as light as you can get. Never had any problems.

I have Kaspersky on my other computer but I'm running AVG on here now(damn blacklist) and it has been pretty awesome.
