FREE Bootable AntiVirus Rescue CDs Download List
« on: March 29, 2014, 12:49:31 AM »
As the title says, here is a list of AV packages the boot from a CD.
You need a working PC to download the ISO and burn  a CD.
These are mostly Linux 'live' dstros with a special AV programs that mount Windows drives.

The purpose is to scan Windows without using a Winnows OS.
Free Antivirus Rescue CD Download List.
  • Kaspersky Rescue CD
  • BitDefender Rescue CD
  • F-Secure Rescue CD  <--- can not find it! 
  • Avira Antivir Rescue Disk
  • Trinity Rescue Kit CD
  • AVG Rescue CD – Bootable 
For the full list and more detail, go to the
techmixer web site  in the link above.
Personally I have used just a few of these and I like Alvira best. But you may have even better results with the others. Your choice.

EDIT: None of these take the place of a resident AV program.
And of course, a Linux program does not examine the windows registry.   ;)

I know that a couple of those boot disks do in fact scan and edit the registry.
