I want to change from NAV to Kaspersky. I have seen an OEM on OC site for £8. A) is this edition the same as you would pay Kasperkky online for £24 but without the box, and B) after the I year licence runs out do you just buy another OEM disc or get another licence online for the full price. Advice please.

i bought it off the Kaspersky site for the above price(about £24). I downloaded it from their site and got an activation key sent to my e-mail. i'm not sure what the one on OC is as i never recieved any box etc. anyway, it was purely an internet sale. Although i did go for the Internet Security as it has everything you need(Firewall etc.) rather than just AV. And after the license runs out you simply renew it with Kaspersky(get sent a new key) or buy another with OCUK. 
But even so its worth spending for a decent well known AV, i prefer it a lot more than NAV as i too switched from that to Kaspersky. And the support and updates are absolutely amazing. Well worth buying. Also it doesnt use the stupid amount of memory NAV did.

I bought an OEM cd of Kaspersky Internet Security 6 last year and got a CD in a cardboard sleeve. V7 came out a month or two later so I got the update by downloading and installing with my existing licence.
I had to renew the licence last week as my year was up. As Shadow said, you get a key which you enter into your existing Kaspersky by clicking on the text that says Renew Key. I renewed for around £15 using the Kaspersky renewal link within the software.

on the main Kaspersky site you have the Internet Security 7.0 for £36.12, and thats the one i bought as i hadn't discovered OCUK yet. 
but i simply downloaded it from the website, no boxes, no nothing. I'm not sure as to the features maybe being different or not as i havent tried both of them. Possibly the internet features are different that you get in the website cabinet online. But its only £8 so try it and see what you get. Its probably simply the difference between the Retail and OEM. As obviously OEM's are cheaper.

KAV is SO light, even lighter than AVG.
Hell, I even let it run sometimes.

Ohhhh
I've been silly haven't I?
I seen the name around here and there, and somehow thought it was related to N*rt*n Anti-Function.
Have to take a look at that then.
Kasperksy is acting like I just married it, not looking so slim and getting naggy[1]
[1]relative to it's own former standard, it's still a positive lamb compated with more others.

Right guys I have installed the free KAV 7 and goung to give it a try before I buy the licence.
The first scan took yonks but everything seems OK. a couple of questions. When I was running NAV it was noticable that everything was scanned ie. emails, word and excel docs etc. This was noticable as it always took about 20 secs, but nothing on KAV - does it scan, is it a lot quicker or doesn't it?
Setting up routine scans - how do I schedule it, please. One last question, does the application perform differently with a licence rather than the free one?
Thanks for the help.

You might find you get more scheduling options and realtime scanning options once licensed.
Not sure what the status of mine that came with my mobo is, but it allows all the options you're talking about from it's main window.
And it does scan stuff REALLY fast compared to N
