Thanks. I already checked Kaspersky's site with no avail. However, the first link in your reply gives some hope, as this user, like myself, uses firefox and thunderbird, and he sounds quite happy. So I might give it a shot.<br />

Kaspersky does not work properly with Thunderbird. The scanner still works, but you need to disable all it's email options to still get mail. I reported this some months ago and was told it would be fixed in the next release. It was not.<br />
<br />
Other than this it's a very thorough and fast virus scanner. The current version takes up about 20MB, which I think is perfectly acceptable.

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
