Well, yes, Kaspersky is like Microsoft - good at marketing.

But this is what I don't understand. Both products has shows similar
results in detecting viruses - both awarded several times (100%vbn,
others, and I see DrWeb going *a bit* further than AVP here). DrWeb
works perfectly w/o any heuristics. You're the first who claims DrWeb
is worse than KAV - at least on my knowlege. We switched to DrWeb
two years ago - when first version for *nix becomes available -- and
it shows excellent results since that.
BTW, you're completely WRONG with that numbers - again, think of
marketer's view. KAV counts every *variant* of a virus as a unit,
while DrWeb counts a virus only once for all variations. This is
even covered in their FAQ - let me find English-language reference -
hmm, I know their English site isn't perfect, but I surprized about
*how* it isn't perfect, there is no FAQ at sald.com. Oh well,
Sergey, where are you?! (Sergey Lutovinov, one of developers of
drweb, he was subscribed to postfix-users recently, I don't know
how that's now).
