Rootkit scan

[templar]

Greetings folks,

I think I asked this question years ago on the old forums, and I can't remember the answer.

Does Quick scan and Full scan include a rootkit scan?

I only ever run Quick scans, the only time I will run a Full scan is if Kaspersky detects something in a Quick scan.   I also have background/rootkit scan turned off, as I prefer to run all scans manually.

It occurred to me the other day that if this function is turned off and Quick scans don't include Rootkit scans then I'm never actually scanning my PC for rootkits.

Hello @templar,

there is a slightly older answer to your question from @Igor Kurzin. According to it, a rootkit scan also takes place during the quick scan and the full scan.

I think nothing has changed.

@SchulteCheers. 

 

Last night I actually initiated a rootkit scan using the command prompt last night, just to make sure nothing is there.
