Avira AntiVir Rescue System

Users looking for rescue systems distributed on CDs or DVDs have really no shortage of finding one. The major problem that inexperienced users face is the same that they face when asked to pick a Linux distribution for their system. To much choice can lead to severe confusion for the user. Despite the fact Avira decided to produce a Rescue System which is probably a good choice if you suspect that the computer does not boot anymore because of a virus, trojan or other malicious code.

The Avira AntiVir Rescue System gives the user three options on how to handle the situation. It can try to repair a damaged system, rescue data and scan the system for virus infections. The Rescue System file can be burned to a CD by double-clicking the downloaded file.

The Rescue System CD does come in handy as well when a computer needs to be checked for viruses before it boots into the operating system. The virus definition files can be updated after booting from the CD. So, this is not your usual Recovery CD that comes with all sorts of tools but one for a very special purpose only. Still nice to have at hand in case the computer gets infected.
