We just received a tip informing us that Kaspersky has made a preview version of their popular anti-virus application available to you Windows 7 guinea pigs.

At the heart of the new technical prototype is Kaspersky Lab’s new antivirus engine which is even more effective at detecting malicious programs than its predecessor. The new engine dramatically increases system scanning speed thanks to improved processing of objects and optimized use of system resources, particularly on dual- and quad-core processor platforms. The unique product architecture ensures high productivity and one of the lowest uses of system resources in the industry.

The installed app uses a very respectable 40MB of memory, and stunned us with fast scanning times. So if your interest lies in curiosity or security, you can pop over here and give it a go.
