For the one curious about it the sale.
The F*250-600 lens staid in the Nehterlands, a member on the Dutch forum was the lucky one.

It's very annoying seeing all the perfectly good clean programs being reported by AV scanners as infected At least Kapersky have a good setup for reporting, testing and correcting these. I don't think AVG has and would be surprised if MS have.
It doesn't fill you with confidence when you look through the list of false positives. In fact you wonder if there is any point bothering at all

I believe Kaspersky work with a list and keep it update online if a lot of users say a program is to be trusted you don't get any warning.
With most installs or .exe files it gives you a notice the first time you start them is ask you if the file is to be trusted, there you have 3 options out of my head.
Thrusted, some sort of sandbox mode and not to be trusted.

It does get good reviews. linkI don't own it so I'm not commenting based upon experience but I've read a few threads on here & the other Pentax forum where it's been suggested that it's IQ is not as good as/or at best only equal to the DA 17-70, considering the price difference it could be a possible reason for it's apparent lack of popularity??

The Pentax SMC DA* 60-250mm f/4 ED [IF] SDM is a highly desirable long tele zoom lens with only minor weaknesses (except QC maybe). It is very sharp through its range and even the secondary aspects such as distortions, vignetting and lateral CAs are well controlled. While not formally tested the high quality of the bokeh (out-of-focus blur) seems to be a differentiator compared to similar lenses - long tele zoom lenses are often problematic here. The build quality is exceptionally high and up to pro standards. The AF operates virutally silent and fast (although not blazingly speedy). All-in-all a sound offer albeit a somewhat pricey one.
The DA17-70 is a very different lens though so it's strange to compare it with that one, it doesn't even have the same range.The Pentax SMC DA* 60-250mm f/4 ED [IF] SDM is a highly desirable long tele zoom lens with only minor weaknesses (except QC maybe).

I'm using kaspersky for two years now, one of the better antivirus scanners i've used.I have had a look on the net, and it seems that Kaspersky is quite highly rated, but it has only had one mention here, surprisingly?
btw, AVG has the update out to fix the fault.

One chose the Pentax K5 and another the Optio W90.
The Nikon D7000 is very popular, the Sony Nex under the EVIL and the Canon S95 the most popular compact.
The funny thing is no Canon DSLR is picked, haven't they released anything good this year?

I remember testing the lens on my camera and it was just one action to go from MF to AF, maybe i've setup my camera differently?
