KAV 2010 lets you rollback to using previous database if the new database is corrupted or providing false positive. This is quite useful since false positive or corrupted download can happen. It’s always recommended that we configure the anti-malware to send copy in quarantine for any threat it will detect.
The scan tasks in KAV 2010 are similar to what we expect with advanced anti-virus except that KAV 2010 is also offering Vulnerability Scan. KAV is running with acceptable memory during PC usage and during scanning.
