Using KVRT
KVRT can be downloaded from here, and once downloaded, the user needs to make the file executable and run it as root for maximum functionality.
KVRT can be executed both in a graphical user interface (GUI) or the terminal, as a command-line tool. So, it’s also usable in lower init runlevels (down to 3) where people might be stuck following a malware infection.
If regular users execute the scanner, it won’t have the required permissions to scan all directories and partitions where threats could be hiding.
During initialization, the scanner unpacks some necessary files into a temporary directory at ‘/tmp/<randomcharactersequence,’ but those are wiped once it’s closed.
Kaspersky has provided detailed instructions on how to set up the binary for execution both via the GUI and the console on this webpage.
BleepingComputer has not tested the effectiveness, nor can it guarantee the safety of KVRT, so use the tool at your own risk.
