Free AVG Rescue CD ~ Essential for your rescue toolkit.

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 - to test 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-to-use product that anyone can download. This also covers any new program versions and virus database updates. If you have any other paid AVG license, you are also entitled to receive our full technical support.
