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.

You might find them here...
ftp://updates2.kaspersky-labs.com/

The advantage of the way I do it it in the Multi AV is that it only downloads the updated
files.

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

Whether using this or the Multi-AV program (which I've used in the past),
do you run into the Kaspersky chkdsk problem they've had with some drives in
the past & I remember reading that Kaspersky used to tag files after a scan,
even when using Multi-AV's Kaspersky engine, and you would have download a
tool to untag the files. Does this still occur?

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