Has anyone tested the effectiveness of Kerish Doctor PC Protection?

Is it worth it to enable the PC Protection component in Kerish Doctor?

I never saw it catching any malware either and yes, it updates daily along with it's algorithm database.
I think its a good time for some of our friends here at MalwareTips, to do a test on how well Dr. Kerish performs against some malwares.

I said "yes" because I use K-DR. and have for quite some time.
Your title caught my attention, I have not tested the protection aspect
of K-DR. I think it needs done, it's primary function is being a good tool
and it succeeds at that in spades. Getting a handle of the worthiness in
terms of malware protection would be a good thing, but I won't put too much
into the results seeing it's a tool not designed to be a AV, but I would love to know.
By all means OP, Enable it.
EDIT
I do know that they use an In-house solution, they don't lease from BD or any other.
I asked the team a lil over a year ago, so unless that changed they employ their own
engine.

I disabled the malware detection but enabled other settings:
I had one experience where the 'protect important files' was very useful.

One time explorer.exe didn't run for some reason, Kerish detected it and restarted the process. It fixed that issue. And while it might not have efficiency well-known antivirus have in detecting and removing malware, at least I can say that the 'protect important file' feature certainly helped me.
