AVG Releases Its Rescue CD for All Customers
Upon booting a damaged computer, the AVG Rescue software is designed to automatically mount all hard drives and scan them for viruses and malware.
AVG released a free Rescue CD this week for all its customers–free-ver
sion and full-version.
The Rescue CD, which has already been included in AVG’s product line for SMBs, can be used to recover computers that are not able to boot or are infected in a way that will not allow normal operation.†
The Rescue CD features:
- Administration toolset
- System recovery from virus and spyware attacks
- Suitability for recovering Windows-based operating systems
- Ability to perform a clean boot from the CD
Upon booting a damaged computer using the AVG Rescue CD, the software is designed to automatically mount all hard drives of the computer and scan them for viruses and malware. The Rescue CD will also automatically restore a safe network connection to the computer.
For advanced users, the AVG Rescue CD also includes a Windows Registry editor, a TestDisk utility for recovering deleted files and lost partitions, a file browser for navigating folders, and a Ping tool for basic network diagnostics.
The Rescue CD is downloadable via the AVG site. It can be saved to any CD or USB stick and then inserted into the damaged computer and used as the recovery disk.
