Torrent description

There are two main situations when you should use Rescue CD:

• The computer no longer starts, as the operating system has been
corrupted by malware. In this case you can use Rescue CD to scan the
computer and quarantine the malware. This may allow the operating
system to start properly again.

• If you suspect that your security software has been compromised by
malware. You can use Rescue CD to check this, as it is independent of
the operating system.

Limitations and Warnings:

• Using Rescue CD on a working operating system may rename essential
system files and so cause your operating system to no longer start. If this
happens you can use your operating system repair disk to reinstall the
operating system. Note that this may reinstall a fresh operating system
and so remove any personal settings and files you have.
• Rescue CD cannot scan encrypted disks. This includes for example,
Windows Vista BitLocker disk encryption.

Using Rescue CD:

If the computer you want to use Rescue CD on cannot connect to the
Internet you can use a USB drive to help the process. See Using a USB
drive when the infected computer cannot access the Internet for details.

1. Place the F-Secure CD in your CD drive and switch the computer on. After a
few seconds you should see a prompt that shows F-Secure Rescue CD.

If you do not see the F-Secure Rescue CD screen you should check
that the computer can start from CD. To do so:
1.1 - Restart the computer

is one of F1, F2, F10, F12 or DELETE. If none of these work, consult
the documentation for the computer.

find the operating system from, so that the CD drive is searched first.
