I ended up with a bad virus, that caused my computer to restart before Windows could load. My options in f8 did not work. I tried everything. The info I did find, did not help, because I could not get into my computer. I ended up finding info about Kaspersky antivirus bootable disk. I figured this would not work either, but I was wrong. It took 17 hours to run, but it found the viruses. I was then able to load Windows and install my Anti-Virus software back on my computer and run it. I found 3 more viruses so far. The Kaspersky disk said that it was out of date, or it probably would have found them too. I would recommend this disk to anyone.

@ GT NUPE
For any Linux based rescue cd, make sure that you do not go through a KVM. Cheap KVMs will not pass the VESA BIOS Extensions (VBE) information from the monitor to the video card and therefore the Linux environment can not auto configure the H sync or V sync for the monitor. The end result is a blank screen.
Eric Says
28. Mar, 2009
Sigh. The rescue CD is trying to use a video screen resolution that the monitor doesn’t support, so I get a blank screen and a message from the monitor that the video mode isn’t supported.
I had to go and look up the keyboard shortcuts to change the X11 resolution – I don’t know whether your config supports it or not, but that’s my only hope to use this thing right now.

There must be something wrong with the NTFS drivers on this rescue CD. I was able to run it, and it seemed to be somewhat reasonable. But when it shut down, it seemed to get hung on the way down. It was busy as can be doing something. As it turns out, it was busily deleting files – there was hardly anything left when it got done, as a matter of fact.
Fortunately I had made a full backup before I started cleaning this disk, so I am now in the process of restoring. Which of course means that I will have to re-run a number of tools and all that.
But I will *NEVER* use this rescue CD for anything again.

Got a virus on one of the PCs. It would bootup and load windows, but not load explorer. Repaired windows installation using the XP installation disk, took about 1.5 hors to repair, but at least it boots up and load explorer, msconfig and regedit. Still unable to load antivirus, not surf the web. Whenever we I start windows explorer, the OS tries to install adobe acrobat 7. Isuspects it not really acrobat 7. PC had Mcafee Internet security installed, with a current subscription.
Called Mcafee tech support and instead of helping me resolve this issue, they were too busy trying to flog their 129.00 AUD virus removal service. I tried to explain there was little or no networking for them to remotely log into this PC, but to no avail. Had strong words with them and hung up. Guess which anti virus provider will not be receiving any repeat business from myself or any of the many sites that have installed mcAfee on my recommendation.
I will give Kaspersky rescue disk a go and see if it’s any good.

It looks pretty much like DOS, but it is many many times better. From the editorial perspective I recognize that many end users might not really care about the differences between DOS and Linux. But without going into detail of how linux can look for viruses in ADSs and DOS cannot, well, let us just say that for the average techie it hurts to read a reference to DOS.

*snicker* “DOS based”.
Well, I guess…Disc Operating System. It’s an OS, and it /is/ on a Disc…but wait, DOS is Disk Operating System, not Disc, so I can’t even argue that.
As many people have already said, it’s Linux, not MS-DOS. It even says “ISOLINUX” in the screenshot. A slight fail on their part, eh?

HAHAHAHA Wonderfully powerful utility that is there. However, in order to feel familiar with Windows users, they said it would show a DOS screen when in fact it’s a UNIX screen since this nifty little LiveCD OS is built on the Gentoo Linux kernel.
Bravo for ingenuity to Kaspersky and BitDeffender and the rest of ‘em.

+++ If a virus infects critical OS files that Windows needs, Linux won’t think twice remove them. This may cause error messages on some machines depending on the level of infection. One computer I’ve used it on can’t boot any more, but that doesn’t mean that it’s beyond connecting the hardisk to another computer and pulling the personal files.

Hey all! Rookie here with a question of how to update Kasperskey rescue cd when it is in use. I can’t connect using wireless obviously. I tried going direct connect but system says can’t find realtek adapter.
The reason I am wanting to do this is because I want to keep the virus db on this disc as current as possible.
Also I had no luck running bitdefender or avira from boot mode.
If you have a reply that might direct me please send it to rickyaconner@hotmail.com
Thanks for all the help!!!

To all of you. 1st – Its sas linux, because it is made as a linux product. It starts separate from Windows and does its job because Windows can’t. It does not care that you have Windows. Just let it run for however long it takes. Do not give up and follow the instructions.when prompted. Use the safe mode option if you have problems and make sure you are a connected via a LAN line and it will get the updates.
