What use is KVRT as 2nd opinion scanner with Kaspersky IS installed?

"I do not participate in malware testing"
"Risk factors: Downloading malware samples"
Which one is it?

Do you download malware samples directly to Host OS without any VM?
1.I have many Malware Removal Tools in my MR Toolbox. I don't have fixed AV always but my "MR ToolkitBox" is always with me in my pendrive.
2.In MalwareTips i don't participate in malware testing,But i do malware analysis.
3."NEVER" but sometime malware need real pcs too. :p
