    I've actually had Kerish catch malware.. When I installed Kaspersky on my daughters PC in a mis-adventure away from Norton a few weeks back, Kaspersky let some 'crapware' through, Kerish picked it up! From what I read, Kerish used to have a full fledged AV, and instead moved it into this product as an 'added bonus'. It's there, used or not, and isn't intrusive, so I can't complain. Kerish also stops some modification of things, like Hosts, etc.

    Salutations,

    Do you know what full fledged AV it had? I really like this Kerish Doctor, nice software.

    I have error repair turned off as the scan for errors gives a single false positive on my computer. When I get around to reporting the false positive and they fix it, I will turn error repair on.

    Other than that, I do a full scan every few days, when I suggests I do so (which it does when it's a few days since you've done a scan).

    It was entirely their own product - Kerish Antivirus 2005.

    I emailed them about the AV part.

    They said they source malware sigs from honeypots, and inhouse lab.

    BTW, I was searching for reviews of KD and I couldn't find any? And when I look at all the "awards", I mostly get to see unknown download sites. I do get to see a reference to SC magazine from 2009, which is reputable. But when searching for it, I couldn't find it being listed.

    Relatively unknown product. I didn't even know about it myself until someone posted here about it a couple months ago. I'm shocked at how good it is, and now consider it a primary tool in my arsenal.

    Well, it's kinda weird, I read that it's at least 8 years on the market. Talking about bad marketing.

    It's over 9 years, with the first version being released in 2005. I think they're just a small company and their product is better known in Russia where they are based.

    Maybe getting mentioned on Wilders will help their profile. It certainly can't hurt. ;)

    Do you use it now Tarnak? I'm usually hesitant to use tools like this, but it behaves well, and keeps things really tight.

    I installed the trial version on my work laptop. I didn't have a lot of time to "play" with it. One question, though--do you just accept everything that it suggests that you fix? I assume that you don't?!

    The GUI is not DPI Conform. If you use 125%. some of the objects on some of the windows cannot be accessed because scroll bars are missing. I ran a scan on and the majority of the problems listed were registry related and some were questionable. My first impression on SW is usually correct, so I uninstalled.

    Well if you have registry issues, those will surely popup.. What were you expecting? I have not found any 'questionable' items, can you elaborate? I have 26 machines now with this running between my home and friends/family, and we've only experienced positive things so far. (all are licensed legitimately) No clue about DPI, never changed it on any machines.

    Alex: I usually accept everything, never had an issue, But you can decline them.

    Why is your resolution so abysmal?

    support@kerish.org

    They've solved my 2 issues within a week with patches. Very good dev team IMO.

    @Adric I get the exact same Windows Startup false positive on my Thinkpad. I just double checked and it is a definite false positive, so I have emailed Kerish about it so they can fix it. It's the only false positive KD gives me.

    I linked to your post in my email so hopefully they will look at the other issues you have too.
