Enhancing Kaspersky's File Deletion Abilities: Introducing Selective File/Folder Deletion Feature

[Maldroid]

I decided to test Kaspersky to see how effective it is at deleting files, and I was surprised to find that it can even remove files that are protected by Folder Guard after a restart. I believe it would be helpful if Kaspersky had a feature that allows users to select a specific file or folder for deletion.

By implementing this feature, users would have greater control over which files are removed, which could be particularly useful in situations where a specific file needs to be deleted for troubleshooting or security reasons.

Hello @Maldroid, 

Welcome!

1. Not enough information, please Read before you create a new topic! by Danila T.  & provide please?
2. The problem description is confusing, please explain what lead to the MEMZ.exe being detected - go to Kaspersky Reports - what shows for that object? 
3. How does that object / alert relate to Folder Guard? 

Thank you?

Hello @Flood and Flood's wife,

I apologize for any confusion in my previous post. I would like to clarify my intention, which was to suggest a new feature for Kaspersky that would be useful for its users.

In my recent test of Kaspersky, I used a well-known malware called Memz and protected it with Folder Guard. However, Kaspersky was able to delete the file even though it was protected by Folder Guard. This surprised me because Folder Guard is very good at preventing any other program from accessing or modifying the protected files. 

Folder Guard is a powerful security program that can control access to files and folders, allowing users to set as full access, read-only, no access, hide, and password-protect personal folders/files and removable drives. This is similar to what you can with Intrusion Prevention on Kaspersky.

Considering how effective Kaspersky is at deleting protected files, I believe it would be helpful if Kaspersky had a feature that allows users to select specific files or folders for deletion. This would give users greater control over which files are removed and which are not. Such a feature could be particularly useful in situations where a specific file needs to be deleted for troubleshooting or security reasons.

I apologize for any confusion caused by my original post and hope that this clarification helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hello, @Maldroid

Please check this behavior whether existed in other known malware by kaspersky. You can use eciar test sample file to check and tell us the result.

why not learn to use an ARK tool?

this kind of tool can delete any file bypass any protection.
