I had a very bad experience with kaspersky for FreeBSD and swore that I
would answer every question I saw like this by warning people away from
Kaspersky.  They sent us a product that didn't work with documentation
that was incomplete and inaccurate.  There was no tech support, and when
we finally gave up and asked for our money back they basically started
ignoring our calls and emails.

On the flip side, we replaced Kaspersky with Sophos and it has been
working wonderfully.  Sophos likes to brag about being the fastest to
respond to new threats and my experience with them validates that claim.
It's also fast and reliable.
