This looks linux/unix/knoppix based stuff..
What will this do to a file system running xp, vista or 2000?

Marc Says

14. Feb, 2009

Phil, although the CDs boot to Linux, but the tools and other things provided are mainly meant to fix Windows machines. So long as they can read the hard drive of the machine being fixed it doesn’t matter – they can still find any evidence of malware on the affected system, and can still change any file.

So basically, the answer to “What will this do to a file system running xp, vista or 2000″ is “It will allow you to fix the file system and/or the operating system files it contains, to allow you to fix it so it can run again”.

The main reason Linux is used for this is that these groups can then offer a free bootable image. They would be unable to do that if they were to use a proprietary operating system. The irony in Windows needing Linux to get fixed has not escaped me.

I just tried the BitDefender Rescue CD on an HP Pavillion 734n which apparently is known to have hardware DRM to prevent Linux from running, (according to one user review online) and noticed the scanner was being shut down prematurely, and the last time it happened all the icons on the desktop even disappeared! Anyone run into this? Come to think of it the update was hanging when it shouldn’t be, too. Although before that it did find one threat!

Alexei Says

07. Jun, 2009

Kaspersky Rescue CD to my eye is Linux based and it does indeed check for virus definitions update before starting a scan. A drawback I noticed with it though in its slowlyness comparing to BitDefender.

Well in fact almost all of those are linux/unix based cd. In my point of vue (LPI 10thgrade, MCSE,!+networking,technician for living) it will not hive the registry. Therefor all the registry wouldn’t be cleaned nor will be the startup. So this means almost all of them are just good for detection.

Also it is good to know that linux absolutely don’t care about the windows booting system, which would also being risky. As we already know that 20% of viruses will corrupt userinit, and if an external AV detects a virus in that file it will be deleted without a doubt.
Means no more booting will be possible even if you paste the userinit from another system or windows cd.

BitDefender has a dangerous trap in it. I burned the CD that I dl’d from you, and ran it and it found some malware, so I “Quarantined” the files. But after I exited and rebooted, the files were nowhere to be found. BD had written them to a RAMdisk which disappeared when I rebooted.

They know about this problem, but they brush off complaints dismissively by basically saying, “That’s the way it works”. For example, http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=13441
It says a user could copy the files to a flash drive or external memory, but I saw no way to do this, and more importantly, no warning that if I didn’t the files would be deleted.

They have another option called Disinfect, and that must write to the harddrive, so they could also create a unique folder and move quarantined items to the user’s harddrive.

Perhaps if you complained to them, it would have more effect than when others do.

At least, you can warn people reading your page that if they have to use BD on CD, don’t use Quarantine. It’s the same as Delete.
