The German IT security experts provide a new edition of their rescue CD for download

Tettnang, 16 December 2008 – Windows not starting correctly or the system does strange things - everybody has some experience of this. A nested rootkit threat that hides from virus scanners could be responsible for this. To counteract such scenarios Avira has developed a rescue CD that can be used to examine and get the system running again. The Rescue CD can remove the rootkits and the virus scanner can detect all threats.

The new version 3.5 of the rescue CD includes an optimized user interface that allows the user to check the computer with only a few mouse clicks. The detected threats can be renamed, repaired or simply logged with the rescue CD. Avira’s free rescue CD can handle Windows 98 installations as well as Windows XP or Vista systems.

You can find the rescue CD at www.avira.com. The version is updated several times a day as a reproducible iso or executable exe file and it includes its own burning software. The users can easily download the latest version, copy it to a CD and start their rescue operation.
