[edit] Pros and cons

Active Virus Shield" is light compared to other commercial anti-virus products. It also does not consume much memory during startup. However, it does lack some features of Kaspersky 6.0 (such as proactive protection and HTTP protection), and the license provided is only valid for one year.
