Though MD5 is relatively easy to forge: https://support.kaspersky.com/4162 They ought to supply SHA 256 or SHA512 as well as the MD5. Strange for a firm that is supposed to be proficient in security. Hum, the MD5 link came up 404. Never done that before. Weird. The last ISO I downloaded (a couple of days ago) has the following checksums: MD5: 9F617FD4573CAAC2DEFC69017DB4234C SHA-1: D7B6B15E1DBA821E89A439B962357214DADF0995 SHA-256: DBDA178E1CD89DBC47E8B7304A1AF5B9F52B7D8BC8DA7DD 25FAC080E8C60E4CE Anyone confirm those numbers ? Could you tell me how you obtain these check sums? Sure http://implbits.com/products/hashtab/ At the bottom of the page, you'll see the installer for XP. Install, then right click on any file, look at "properties", then "file hashes". If you right click inside that window, you can choose the ones you want displayed (I use MD5, SHA1 and SHA256) in "settings". The more recent ISO will have different hashes, but the ones above will probably match the one you downloaded. I'm kinda confused as I suspect you guys are talking Linux at times but I"m not sure. I only have XP. When you boot from the Rescue Disk, you are booting into Linux. Which is good, because you can scan for rootkits which might be hidden if you scanned from a running Windows system. I successfully made a bootable USB drive with the krb.iso using Rufus and the dd option. I sure didn't take an hour to run the kaspersky scan after I booted it. More like a minute.. Is there a way to look inside the iso to see if the virus definitions are there? Probably because you didn't scan your whole hard drive (look at the scan settings). By default, Kaspersky Rescue Disk only looks at boot sectors, system files and your startup programs. Bingo . That's what I've been missing. It's necessary to check 'system drive' to get a full scan. I wonder why they made such a crazy default? I certainly don't go to all this trouble to check just the boot sectors, system files and startups. I d/l'd the latest krd.iso and burned it to a cd with ImgBurn, the way I always used to do rescue10 until I learned how to put it on a usb drive and stop wasting cds. It booted ok, looked a little different from what booted from my rufus dd created usb drive. But the trick was, as you point out, I didn't have the 'system drive' checked in the scan settings. Looks like there was 7 scans, 705,498 objects, and 15 problems found. Which i quarantined, can't wait to find out what I screwed up. Next time I dl a new krd file I'll rufus it onto a usb drive again and try it that way with the correct scan setting, see if it works. Thanks a lot guys for the interesting info. I'll be playing around with the stuff in my spare time. It might look at browser extensions, and programs listed in prefetch too, but I'm not sure. That only takes a few minutes. Ah, and it checks your hosts file, and it said mine was "infected". False positive. To scan a million files, it took just over an hour, but I have an 8 core CPU. On my old PC, I'd leave it scanning overnight. HTH PS The bad thing is you cannot not save a readable log file. The old version did. []'s |
