Mr Xidus site works fine for me at the moment. Maybe its not ready for AU.

Site looks good I get somewhat the same thing although I'm in a different country I would expect that. It's just the Kaspersky 2012 IS part of the site.

@MrXidus,

Try,
http://www.kaspersky.co.uk/security-scan

Or navigate through using .AU Kaspersky (your region).
Edit: Unless it's not ready yet.

How about use the global website? Definitely it will show the direct link properly.

Just a scanner, no removal capabilities. Clicking Fix Now will open a page to buy full versions. I can't even view details about the detected malware.

Long story short. Useless gimick to try to get a few more sales. I'll stick to ESET & DrWeb free scanners.

It might be a bug since there is a "Details" button but clicking it does nothing on my PC.
Kaspersky still has an excellent Rescue CD that we can use for free, so I can't complain too much about the lack of removal capabilities in this product.

Yes,this software it's mostly used as a way to make you buy their product..... Kaspersky is not the first company who does this kind of thing but we did have some greater expectation from them..
Nevertheless I think that we can use the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool to scan and actually remove the detect threats!

As for Kaspersky Security Scan , as long as it doesn't allow free malware removal it's just a useless advertising product!!
