Agent is now at version 8. Version 1.9x is an antique; should be in a 
museum. ;-). I'm not surprised that it didn't play nice with Kapersky 2015.

XNews is OK, it's at 5.04.25, which is why Kapersky 2015 works well with it.

a) Semantics and taxonomy: "Virus" is a subset of malware.
b) Kapersky 2014 is outdated. Obviously.
