Before discussing this we should know first what is Rootkit Scan? Rootkit means a program that penetrates in the system and modifies the system functions. This is very dangerous because one it modified the system parameter then we cannot detect such virus by scan.
So the Rootkit scan is advantages but by default Kaspersky always initiate the scan when turn on your computer and it is at ideal mode. So it is not necessary to scan for Rootkit every time it is just waste of processor and memory also during scan your PC response decreases. It is better to perform such a scan just only in a month or week manually.
