KAV has long had one of the best scan engines. It is top notch for
detecting a wide variety of malware including Trojans. I even d/l
KAV's special data bases which enable detection of stuff which doesn't
fall cleanly into any category ... dialers, keyloggers, etc. which are
controversial and not clearly either spyware or Trojans.

The priice you pay may be a noticeable performance hit when using
KAV's realtime monitor, especially if it's not in its "smart" mode.
But since you say the PC is new, it may have sufficient resources that
you won't see any sluggishness in any event.
