Salvage your infected computer using the AntiVir Rescue System

January 5, 2009 in Security | Permalink

The problem with security software is that we over rely on their technology to protect our system, so become careless in our attitude. We open obscure emails, read attachments, download software from sites we've never previously visited and automatically accept a file from a friend, what chatting online. It's easy to infect your computer and mostly you're at fault. If you find your system slows due to your installed security software, it's too easy to turn off proactive scanning or the scanning of archived files. However, it's these files that can end up infecting your PC.

AntiVir Rescue System 3.5 is a bootable rescue CD which you can use to try and salvage your computer when you find you can't boot in to your computer (thus can't check your system for virus-related problems). We advise you download this regularly as it is updated daily, burn to disc and keep in a safe place.
