What secondary scanner do you recommend beside KTS?

Kaspersky

You might want to consider Malwarebytes. It's known for its effectiveness in detecting and removing malware, and it works well alongside KTS without causing any conflicts.

Too much trouble for no pay. Sounds like much is paid if it's too much trouble.

Seriously, are you wanting something for free and complaining. Do you know how much time and effort and issues that product has been through for you to call it a waste of your time. Although you literally have to know what you are doing to use it properly just like any tool.

I know it's already been suggested another method and this did not sit well with you either, so my advice is to find another hobby.

Norton warns that this is aggressive tool that may produce false positives. And I discussed that on another thread as well.

Well, I'm not a malware hunter, just a security conscious power user so... But hey, whatever, I'm not going into details or drama.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but don't you need to know how to use all these tools you keep asking about before you could consider yourself a poweruser? :unsure: Just saying.

Well depends on your definition of power user I guess. I don't think there's a standard definition here. I've never worked in cybersec nor is it my hobby, I'm just security conscious.

I do automate, script, program and have my own homelab tho so I consider myself a power user but ofc anyone is free to disagree with my status. No problem

If you have a homelab, program, and script it also means you know how to use a search function too? Most power users here learn on their own without having to ask the same questions repeatedly. I would state you need to place that kind of effort depending on how true, into learning your operating system you do all this on first. Then learning any of these tools becomes much easier.

I'm going to ask some questions here that you may learn from.

Is your homelab isolated from the rest of your system i.e. virtualization? Is the system to which your homelab resides on isolated on the network I e. Network segmentation? Are all other functions performed on a separate system such as financial? Have you considered the analysis tools I proposed in your other thread on this matter which utilize 78 engines instead of one or two and offer insight into running processes and start up entries? Have you considered learning advanced tools if you are capable of scripting and programming, such as wireshark that can be used to analyze traffic looking for malware and hackers both? How about scripting engines such as nmap capable of looking for malware and vulnerabilities with the ability to create your own custom scripts available?

Just how security conscience are you, and what exactly is the level of concern you have for what you do?
