    Rootkit scan , Quick scan needed or not

    in Kaspersky Security Cloud

    Posted

    Flood,

    Your  test showed that the 2 scans are pretty similar . Confirming Yuri’s explanations .

    Following our last exchange I reset KSC Free to the default configuration just to start with a fresh set up, than I checked the box enabling the rootkit scan , rootkit scan being the same than quick scan but using less ressources , and I scheduled a full scan weekly. Thats it I wont play with it anymore .

    Once again merci Flood for this interesting exchange :-)

    Hey Flood !!

    Thanks for your reply its really appreciated . One thing for sure, your system is not infected after all these scan :-)

    Dont know if you agree but it looks like that KSC free is configured by default to protect our equipment as is with no real needs to play with it. I even think that many must have reduced their protection without knowing it by playing too much with it .

     

    Bitdefender free was kind of like that , install and forget , but contrary to Kaspersky they offered no option . I prefer by far Kaspersky approach , I have options available and I like that even if I will not use most of them . 

    So with your valuable input, and with the help of other members here I will not try to be smarter than Kaspersky. I will only schedule a Full scan once a month and forger about it .

    As suggested Non critical event log is turned on , curious to see what is going to come out of it

    Thanks once again Flood :-)

    Flood , thanks for your input here , here is one more for you  :-)

     

    If a Rootkit is not in: system memory, boot sectors of the disk, and objects loaded at operating system startup it will not be found by a Quick scan

    So I understand that a Rootkit can be located in the computer but not necessarily in system memory, boot sectors of the disk, and objects loaded at operating system startup ?  Hence the need for regular Rootkit scan Am I right ?

    So if its the case , and if rootkit scan , scan the very same thing than Quick scan but only deeper to find hidden Rootkit then….. who needs  a scheduled quick scan when one have the rootkit scan that is taking care of everything on a daily basis while using less ressources ?

    Nexon , I was ok with your post up to the last sentence… 😉 apparently quick and rootkit scan ARE the same , but not processed the same way . For what I understood the rootkit scan is a quick scan but with the portion rootkit done at a lower speed using less ressources while the quick scan portion is done normally , both are happening at the  same time … well thats what I understood

    Dennis , thanks for the link … so for what I understood from Yuri is that KSC gave us the option of scheduled quick scan but the protection would be the same with or without . 

    So if we just install KSC  as is , and forget about the scheduling option or else we are fully protected and most of the options are redundancy of what is already running automatically behind the scene .

    Looks a lot like the approach choosen by Bitdefender free . Install and forget .

    KSC also let us choose install and forget but also left few options for us to play with  however the more I read about it the more I am encline to just return KSC to default setting ( adding only a full scan a month ) and forget about it , like I was doing with Bitdefender free when I tried it …

    Need to say that I came back to KSC form Bit free and that I am satisfied with KSC not that I feel much more secure , but I like the fact that  KSC let us know what is happening behind the scene , something lacking badly with Bit free.  Thanks KSC for this free and excellent product

    Full scan report shows strange number of files scanned.

    Flood, Berny

    Problem solved 😉 , i decided to re-install KSC Free and voila , the comma are now at the right place giving me a number making way more sense, the last scan returned 1,616,919 yeah !!! The scan last 4hr 28 mn !!!  Its a lot of files and I am surprised about that since other AV never returned that amount, not even close . But maybe this is why KSC is the best free AV available to home users ? 🤔

     

    I have scheduled a full scan once a week is it too much ? I dont mind to work my hard drive intensively for 4hrs 30 a week but only if it is necessary . I have also scheduled a daily quick scan .

     

    anyway , merci beaucoup to you both for your support its really appreciated to have people like you in this community , have a great week !!!

    KFC et rapport de scan

    in Pour particuliers

    Bonjour, J’ai un probleme a comprendre le rapport de full scan et le nombre de files qui on été verifié .

     

    Window 10 rapporte que mon laptop contient 525000 files , Bitdefender a scanné environs un nombre égal de files 

     

    Avec kaspersky cloud free maintenant

     

    Un full scan rapporte quil a scanné 10,78,362 files !!  mais c’est quoi ce chiffre ? comment le lire ?

     

    Ca ne peut vouloir dire 10 millions , i manquerait 1 zéro apres la premiere virgule soit avant le 78 ou apres le 78 ….

    et si c’est 1 millions, la premiere virgule ne serait pas placer au bon endroit, elle devrait etre apres le 1 …

     

    alors c’est quoi ce chiffre ? merci

    Window report that I have 525000 files on my C: drive.

     

    Previous full scan with a competitor product report around that number of files scanned

     

    Kaspersky cloud free report that 10,78,362  files has been scanned

     

    How one interpret 10,78,362 ? Or how many files is 10,78,362 ?

     

    This number doesnt make sense as far as I know , 

     

    I need to understand that

     

    Thanks for your help,

     

     

    Full scan of system returned more than 10 millions files ???

    Andrew75, :-)  I can understand that but the detailed reports show  10,19,289 files scanned !!!

     

    I have looked in my drive C yesterday and 525 000 plus or minus 5000  I cant remember were reported .

     

    Now I am not sure how to read the KSC reports number with their comma placed everywhere :-)  Can you ?

    Is it  1 millions , nineteen thousands 2 hundreds  eighty nines files ? Maybe , but even its a minimum of 400000 more files than what bitdefender scanned and or window defender !!

     

    However its not 10 millions I guess I pushed my luck there :-)

     

    anyway thanks for your message its appreciated Andrew hopefully Ill get the answer im looking for since  the Russian mathematics  are kind of strange :-) lol

    Hi, I have installed KSC free yesterday. During the full scan the program returned over 10 millions of files !! The scan took over 3 hrs 45 mn . I had Bitdefender free installed previously and I never went over 710000 files and IIRC never took more than 1hr 45 mn to 2 Hrs 15 mn , same with window defender . What I did wrong ? should I reinstall KCS ? That doesnt make sense at all , any idea whats going on ? I didnt touch any setting other than asking to scan Detect other software that can be used by criminal in Threat and exclusion settings thanks for your help
