[Advice on Recommended Steps to Disinfect USB Storage Device]

Hey there, I would like to scan a USB stick and then a USB HDD which I am very confident both contain some form of malware. I would like some advice on the recommended steps to disinfect both these devices without risking infecting my machine. After consulting the documentation my current plan is:

1. Create a custom RDS task, with a custom config file.
2. Add the following to the config file:
   1. "BlockDuringScan" : "Yes",
   2. "ScanRemovableDrives" : "DetailedScan"
3. Start the task.
4. Insert the USB storage device.
5. Only access the files on the USB storage device after checking that the task has completed.
6. Repeat.

Is this sufficent, or do I need to use other kesl features to further lock down the device when it is inserted? I did notice in the documentation on the BlockDuringScan setting that "while scanning boot sectors, files are not blocked". I am not familiar with the capabilities of modern malware; if I do not open the USB storage until after the scan has completed, does this pose no threat to my machines security?

Also, love kesl so far, so good to see a great commercial program that supports linux :-)

Okay, thanks for the help :-)

[Settings and Storage Buttons Grayed Out]

Hey Demiad, thanks for your help with that :-) Can I launch the GUI from CLI using sudo?

[Settings and Storage Buttons Grayed Out]

Okay I have completed all the custom scan tasks I wanted to perform in the CLI, however the buttons are still grayed out after completion, so I'm not sure what the issue is, I would like to resolve this before I go ahead with the purchase as I would like to be able to navigate the GUI, especially reports.

[Settings and Storage Buttons Grayed Out]

Hey there, I just installed on Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux v11.4.0-1096 with the GIU for amd64 Debian. Installation and initial setup via CLI was successful, I chose the trial license, and then opened the GUI interface. The Settings and Storage buttons are grayed out in the GUI interface, and I noticed there is a (full system?) scan underway in the statistics section after selecting the Reports button. Are the buttons grayed out because a scan is currently underway?
