What I'm looking for?

Looking for medium feedback.

You have Kaspersky so I think you're good. If you think you need to replace NPE then use Eset Online Scanner.
Does EOS play nice with Kaspersky?

EEK or KVRT
Already using EEK along with NPE. Using KVRT alongside Kaspersky Standard doesn't make sense as they both use same signatures/technolgy.

Edit: Trying out Eset Online Scanner now.
