The disks for Virus Rescue are a great option in the event in which your antivirus program has stopped working. They are available from various antivirus vendors and are simple to use. Users can alter how the program monitors the system.
Some provide a more familiar desktop experience, while others offer users a selection of extra utilities. Kaspersky’s Rescue Disk, as an example, is powered by Xfce Linux and includes Firefox, Thumar File Manager, and a few other applications that are useful for additional uses. This rescue disk includes the ability to select specific files to be scanned or to indicate whether you want to exclude files that are that are larger than a certain size.
Other rescue disks are less advanced, like the one from Trend Micro, which doesn’t offer a visual interface and requires you to navigate with arrow keys. The simple rescue disc can make up for the absence of features by being small and proving to have a strong track record in detecting malware in AV-Comparatives’ real-world tests of protection.
ESET’s SysRescue Live is an excellent alternative for those looking for an easier user interface. It features one of the best-rounded and polished interfaces that are on this list. It utilizes the same antivirus engine that is the basis of the full-featured software offered by the company. The interface is graphical and offers a variety of options for customization, including a smart or custom-designed scan, exclusions and whether to run a fast or a deep scan.
