That Avira rescue disk may help if you have a virus infection in the windows system, but I do not believe it will do anything about a malware or rootkit infection.  I have fixed a number of peop;es windows systwms using the free software from http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

You know my windows systems very rearly get infected. But I run free AV/AM software and use noscript and don't use adobe product save when absolutly required. That said the Avira Rescue CD sounds quite interesting - thanks for the heads up. Up till now I have been using UBCD4Win on friends / family computers. UBCD4Win offers more flexability but the Avira CD may be a nice silver bullit for many casses. And is a lot easier to create ;)

Hi,

Life is interesting.  My XP box has been infected twice in less than a year.

Today I got a malware infection.

I found what seems to be a solution to fixing my system - Avira Rescue CD.

Anyone have any experience with Avira Rescue CD?  It supposedly is Linux based. 

Thanks in advance!
