Re: [scifinoir2] This is cool: Infected PC? AVG Rescue CD to the Rescue!

[Martin Baxter]

Personally, Mr Worf, I wouldn't take the AVG Premium service if you gave it
to me. It's seriously draining on a computer's system resources. When
running, it draws a full 30+ % of CPU time. Avast!, by comparison, uses less
than 8%. (On MY laptop, that is. And I have a Centrino Duo processor.)

[Mr. Worf]

There are two separate downloads. One for usb drives and the other for a
bootdisk.

970 pieces left altogether since my baseball game is not coming on. Since then

  If a virus or spyware infection strikes your PC, you’ll know it right away. 
The telltale signs include suddenly sluggish performance, a hijacked Web 
browser, and/or pop-up warnings from sources you don’t recognize.

  What you may not know is what to do about it. Trying to cure an already 
infected PC is quite literally like trying to close the barn door after the 
horses have run out.

  Fortunately, there’s a new weapon at your disposal: AVG Rescue CD can remove 
viruses, spyware, and other malware from infected PCs. It’s a free, effective, 
and potentially life-saving tool — but there’s one catch.


  The catch: You need to create your rescue CD before your system gets 
infected. If you wait until after the fact, your system will probably be too 
choked with malware to perform the setup. So think of this as stockpiling a flu 
vaccine.

  As its name implies, AVG Rescue CD is a bootable CD that employs Linux for 
its operations, meaning it doesn’t boot into Windows (which is where the 
problems lie, natch). It’s also available for USB flash drives, which is my 
preferred method of deploying the tool — as long as the infected system 
supports booting from flash drives, which most modern PCs do. (The software 
itself requires only about 70MB of space, so even an old 128MB drive will 
suffice.)

  Don’t worry about out-of-date virus definitions: The software will leverage 
your PC’s Internet connection to retrieve the latest updates.

  I can’t say AVG Rescue CD is the most user-friendly tool I’ve used, so it 
behooves novice users to watch AVG’s two tutorial videos: One on creating a 
bootable CD or USB drive, the other on using Rescue CD to remove infections 
from a PC.

  I also can’t promise that the software will rescue every PC from every 
infection — but it’s something every user should keep in his or her toolkit. 
AVG Rescue CD is free; it works with most versions of Windows. [via AppScout]

I think this is great and something that I will look into. I personally use 
Avast which has a option to scan the boot drive.

Thanks, Mr Worf! I don't use AVG, but Maternal and SisterUnits do on their
PCs, so I'll download it for them.

If a virus or spyware infection
strikes your PC, you’ll know it right away. The telltale signs include
suddenly sluggish performance, a hijacked Web browser, and/or pop-up
warnings from sources you don’t recognize.

What you may not know is what to do about it. Trying to cure an already
infected PC is quite literally like trying to close the barn door after the
horses have run out.

Fortunately, there’s a new weapon at your disposal: AVG Rescue CD can remove
viruses, spyware, and other malware
from infected PCs. It’s a
free, effective, and potentially life-saving tool
— but there’s one catch.
