Publisher's Description
From Kaspersky Lab:
Kaspersky Online Virus Scanner is a free online virus scanner to find out if you have any viruses or spyware on your machine without having to uninstall your current antivirus software or install a new one. Most importantly, you can see what viruses your current antivirus software let slip through. You just need to be online and using Internet Explorer.
Note: When using this service for the first time, you have to run with Administrator privileges in order to install the product. Also, you will need to download and install files about 400 KB in size followed by 9 MB of virus definitions. However, if you use the Online Scanner again, you will only need to download the files that have been updated since your last scan. The Online Scanner service offered by Kaspersky Lab uses Microsoft ActiveX technology. Microsoft ActiveX Technology and the Kaspersky Online Scanner work only with MS Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher. The free Kaspersky Online Scanner does not scan boot sectors and MBRs, so it cannot detect malicious code located in these areas. The free Kaspersky Online Scanner does not protect against malicious code, and cannot prevent future infections. It only detects malware that has already penetrated your computer. We strongly recommend that you install a full antivirus solution to protect your system.

"A quick double-check of your installed anti-virus"
Version: Kaspersky Online Virus Scanner
Pros
After the first time running it, which is somewhat slow, it runs much faster, under a minute. I have it in my toolbar and run it when the mood hits me, once or twice a week just to see if AVAST has missed anything.
Cons
Nothing - for what it is.
Summary
This isn't meant to be your primary means of protecting your computer. I recommend it, particularly to less adept users, to use for additional peace of mind. I've been using it for years and it has found one or two items that AVAST missed as malware entered my computer in an archived (.rar .zip) form. I then ran the deep scan on AVAST which rooted out and removed the problem before it got too bad.
I've noticed the real time shields I've used will not catch malware that's contained in archived files. This is a good quick check to run after unpacking them to make sure you haven't gotten some crapware installed when you open them up. -
