I use Multi-AV every now and then, along with Avira... Avira being the
resident anti-virus. I like the Sophos, Trend Micro (I've used Trend
Micro for years), and Kaspersky combo, but downloading the KAV stuff is
a real pain in the arse. Is there another way to get the updated
definitions, without having to download these files ONE AT A TIME? Maybe
an all-in-one file? Thanks.

All in all, it probably would be better than going to site, searching
for update, unzipping and all that. Thanks for the response.

You could consider tuning out the the Kaspersky module altogether and
download instead Kaspersky® AVPTool

Don't know. I probably was one of those 'lucky' users who never experienced
the chkdsk problem associated with Kaspersky.
