What You Get

Key technologies

Anti-virus: protection against viruses, worms and Trojans
Anti-spyware: protection against spyware, adware and identity theft
Administration toolkit: system recovery tools

The AVG Rescue CD is essentially a portable version of AVG Anti-Virus supplied through Linux distribution. It can be used in the form of a bootable CD or bootable USB flash drive to recover your computer when the system cannot be loaded normally, such as after an extensive or deep-rooted virus infection. In short, the AVG Rescue CD enables you to fully remove infections from an otherwise inoperable PC and render the system bootable again.

Apart from the usual AVG functions (malware detection and removal, updates from internet or external device, etc.), the AVG Rescue CD also contains the following set of administration tools:

Midnight Commander - a two-panel file manager
Windows Registry Editor - simple registry editor for more experienced users
TestDisk - powerful hard drive recovery tool
Ping - tests the availability of network resources (servers, domains, IP addresses)
Common Linux programs and services - vi text editor, OpenSSH daemon, ntfsprogs etc.

Free of charge

The AVG Rescue CD is a free product that anyone can download. It will also include any new program versions and virus database updates. If you have any other paid AVG license, you are also entitled to receive our full round-the-clock technical support.
