Portable 'Kaspersky System Checker' newly introduced

Whats the difference between this and the built in "Vulerability Scan in KAV?
Seems to do just about the same thing!?

I guess it's almost an intersection except that it scans for absence of Antivirus, Firewall and does a quick malware scan.
In short, it's for non-Kaspersky folks. Good point

it correctly detected a modified hosts file
otherwise, clean bill of health

This is actually a decent catch

Windows Explorer: display of known file type extensions is disabled
Malicious software often masks its executable file by giving it the appearance of popular file formats (documents, images, music, movies, etc.), replacing the icons for these categories. When display of a known type of file extensions is disabled, the file "image.jpg__________.exe" appears to the user as "image...". Thus, the user can run a malicious program that allows an intruder to gain control over the system and user data.

I used it but everything was fine didn't really find anything but judging from some of the replies it seems like it is somewhat useful

Ghacks Review for Kaspersky System Checker

As I read the article and observe the interface, well not a bad tool; it can be alternative although some improvements must implement because of inaccurate results.

Good little tool. It detected the host file I edited.

Everything seems correctly found here...some Internet Explorer & other seems are default Windows stuffs/settings But it detects as not good.

Autorun is disabled in Windows settings But KSC mention enabled, guess wrong info?

Programs section have "removal or dustbin" icon...is it uninstaller?

Seems good little fast tool to check system & get an overview.

Hosts modified, guess related to Unchecky

I guess it's the host file in System32>drivers>etc. Happened with some others too. There may/may not be malicious entries therein.

Autorun is disabled in Windows settings But KSC mention enabled, guess wrong info?

Buggy probably. I've seen some other utilities too detect Autorun as enabled when it's disabled. Questionable!

If you do not have Kaspersky, then it definitely is!
Like @nclr11111 pointed out, it basically scans vulnerabilities the same way KAV/KIS does. Scope is wide though. A lil security check
