Kaspersky vs proxies

Trying to find best antivirus, I have tried Kaspersky and here's what I have to say.

While it may be OK for home usage, it's a no-go for many corporate environments (like mine) which use script-driven proxy setup.




It just does not support .PAC script-based proxy setup, and so did not work for me.
And by the way, my previous companies also used such proxy setup.






Too bad for Kaspersky.
Not to speak of the higher pressure it puts onto system...
I tend to incline more and more along the way of thinking that it's software popularity is based more on marketing gimmicks like "personal touch" a-la Peter Norton, that quality merits.

And by the way, have you tried the free Microsoft Security Essentials?

It's got great usability! I can't speak of it's protective abilities (I'm sure Kaspersky will) but it's so easy to use and puts very light load on system, and nothing beats free. Recommended!
