Advice Request Kerish Doctor anti virus component, is it good?

[peterfat11]

Is kerish's antivirus good? Has anyone tested it? If yes how does it do? Could it be use as a main av or just a secondary one.

It's terrible and detects very little. So it's of no use as primary antivirus, or even a second opinion scanner. Also, it's worth noting that you can't scan specific files or folders. On the plus side, it has no issues with false positives, so there's usually no need to disable its malware scanning. Many years ago, Kerish planned to release a stand alone antivirus. But that never eventuated.

Detection Ratio in Kerish Doctor anti-malware measure is very low, so I'd suggest you to use some paid antiviruses from the giveaway's or free Avira if you need a light antivirus without performance impact.

So I can just turn it off, as it does basically nothing?

No need to turn this off, leave this ON, since it doesn't use so much RAM on your PC.

Leave it ON as well, because it may help you keep your Windows safe. It's always worth to keep an eye on the applications and their processes.

so they won't mess up with my main av when removing a virus, or just mess up the protection of my main av?

No, it's fine to just leave them enabled.

Nothing bad will happen. Because Kerish Doctor isn't antivirus itself, he just has basic anti-malware measures and they has no affect to your main antivirus.

These days any companies design an antivirus face with BD or Avira Engine
