Hi there guys.
I was wondering if you could help me with an issue that I've just discovered
on my Steam installationI run Linux as my main OS for my computer.
Occasionally I will used a USB stick with some anti-malware apps on them and scan
my Linux box for any kind of malware (Windows or Linux) or associated issues.I have a license for Kaspersky Total Security (which I use on my Windows box)
But I also use the KRD (Kaspersky Rescue Disk), and this is what I have used to scan my Linux boxI came across this hit/issue this morning, after running a scan last night -

Questions:1. Based up on the information above, should I be worried ?
2. Is this a false positive ?
(The anti-virus / malware app) doesn't appear to like this file3. Has anyone else had the same or something similar when using Steam on their
Linux box ?
TIA for any help or advice

Hello Yuri
So the alphanumeric strings set against each hard drive have no bearing against the UUID of the HDD’s
OK that’s a little dissapointing, but at least I now have an answer.
Thank you very much, for taking the time to answer my questions for me.
It’s much apprecaited.
Take it easy.

Hi Yury, thanks for coming back to me.
Please see the screenshots below1. This screen shot shows the following -
1.1 My HDDs in the terminal, and their normal designations (E.G. sda1 / sdb3) etc etc
1.2. The Kaspersky scan dialogue box, and all of the HDD’s and partitions (but showing a long alphanumeric stringagainst each HDD)
2. This screenshot shows
2.1. The terminal - And the UUID of each HDD and partition
2.2. The Kaspersky scan dialoge box (again showing the HDD’s and their alphanumeric strings agains eachHDD and partition
So my question is -
(When looking at / using the Kaspersky scan dialogue box) -
How do I determine what each of the HDD and partitions are Vs their UUID’s
I’d like to be able to select a specific partition to scan, but I need to know what icon represents each HDD and partition.
Thanks very much.

Hi there guys.
I was wondering if you could help answer a couple of questions for me please.
Background:
I was running Kaspersky rescue disk from USB.My PC has x3 hard drives and multiple different partitions contained on it.
(When running Kaspersky rescue disk) The scan box, shows all of my hard drives
(and partitions).However the hard drives hare not named in a logical fashion.
When I used the terminal to grab the UUID from the HD and partition
that I wanted to scan, the alphanumeric characters next to each hard drive /
partition. Did not seem to match the UUID of the HDD's themseleves
What I wanted to do, was scan 1 particular parttion of 1 hard drive,
instead of the entire PC (which is x3 HDD's) and took 5.5 Hrs to complete
Questions:1. Do the alphanumeric strings next to each hard drive, relate to the UUID
of the hard drives ? (As they dont appear to)
2. Does Gentoo linux (what Kaspersky rescue disk is based upon), use a
different naming scheme for UUID's ?
3. How can I match up each hard drive (icon) and string of characters next
to each hard drive, to a UUID / or a specific hard drive or partition ?So that I can just scan, the specific hard drive or partition, instead of
the entire PC.
TIA for any help or advice

Hi there guys.
I was hoping that you could answer a couple of (possibly daft) questions for me please.
I'm running Windows 10, and Kaspersky Internet security.
I'm also getting into a lot of retro computing and emulation ATM.As a result, I've downloaded a lot of older software that I'd like to run in emulation.
Questions:
Does Kaspersky protect from Malware from -1. Other OS's / platforms ? (E.G. Mac / or Older versions of Windows / DOS ?)
2. From Amiga OS (M68k) software
3. From Linux malware ?
4. From MAME or other ROM types
TIA for any help or advice.

I've just ran another scan with Kaspersky rescue disk (via USB stick)
I have found a way to determine which HDD or partition is assigned
to the alphanumeric string that Kaspersky uses.
(It's a bit of a bodge / hack, but it is better than nothing)
Try doing the following -
1. (Using the main GUI) open a Dolphin file explorer (or click the
K menu > File explorer)
When this window opens, chose the HDD partition that you require
E.G. sda1 / sdb4
Then after the short name for the volume or dir, notice the long
alphanumeric string following it
2. Move back to the Kaspersky main menu
And compare the last 4+ digits of your desired HDD or dir that you want to scan.
With the list of volumes showing in the main list on the Kaspersky scan menu.
Once you find what you are looking for, you can tick only that volume / dir
to be scanned.
This should save you quite some time, when only scanning the HDD partitions or
dirs that you are interested in.
