This should probably be added to the wiki.

I tried removing only one of the options at a time, and found out that
removing only -j3 helps. So the diff is:

--- kaspersky-wrapper.orig      2005-08-03 21:33:28.000000000 +0300
+++ kaspersky-wrapper   2005-08-18 01:36:39.079616824 +0300

   Args=`echo "$@" | sed -e 's/ -I/ -i/g; s/^-I/-i/g; s/-- / /g;'`
   rm -f $Report
-  ${PackageDir}/$Scanner $ScanOptions -o$Report -j3 -q "$@"
+  ${PackageDir}/$Scanner $ScanOptions -o$Report -q "$@"
   cat $Report
   rm -f $Report
   exit

And Kaspersky 5.0 still works with this change, so it can be safelly applied.
I tested with both archived and plain viruses.
