Kaspersky Virgin

No ..... this isn't a post promoting Russian Mail Order Brides !!

Now that Virgin Media's PC Guard is powered by Kaspersky is it any good ?
(currently using Avast + other usual suspects)

The following info is from Virgins site and I qualify for the full package (all free) but don't want to change if it's still poor at detecting viruses etc.

Includes ~ Anti-Virus, Firewall, Anti-Spyware, Pop Up Blocker, Privacy Manager, Identity Theft Protection & Parental Control.

Any opinions ? (stupid question I know!)
