Kaspersky detects many viruses in Kali Linux ISO

[Kperie]

Question Regarding “Kaspersky Internet Security Protection”:

 

I’v had Kaspersky for a while now, and I think its a great Internet Security tool, however, for the past 6 months, I have had a issue where the application states that I have “819 objects”.

 

I select to “Resolve all”, and this will load, but I don’t feel it would do anything even after leaving the desktop on for over 24 hours, as I am still left with “819 object” at the end.

 

This was after a re-install of the application (Although it took some-time to “find” the objects, perhaps to do the initial scan.) The application still states there are “819 objects”.

 

I fear this application has been tampered with itself , and I was hoping I could get some expertise on the issue.

 

I look forward to having any response to this, as I do enjoy the security, and would hate to resort to leaving it, for the fear of the application itself being tampered with itself.

Welcome to Kaspersky Community.

 

Can You provide version of Windows system and exact version of KIS?

 

Also attach screen-shots of the detections.

 

Regards.

Hi Harlan,

 

Thanks for getting back to me on this.

 

This is the overview screenshot:

My windows version is: 

 

 

And this is what I can find on the “KIS”:

 

 

I hope this helps, but please let me know if there is anything else you need to help.

 

Thank again!

Well, I see You have a Kali linux iso on the system, so those detections are normal, this is not the 1st time this question has been treated in the community.

 

Since Kali Linux comes full of “risky tools”:

Kaspersky is detecting them 🙂

Ah!

 

This was great advice:)

 

I can confirm that after removing this, the tool now does not find any threats.

 

Thanks again for the help here!
