The F-Secure Rescue CD is a Linux-based software tool designed to scan computers for malware and rename any files found to contain malicious code. It is an effective solution for removing viruses and other malware from infected systems.
The Rescue CD Guide (pdf) provides clear, step-by-step instructions on how to effectively use the CD. It is worth noting that this software is only available in English.
To be compatible with Rescue CD, a computer must be x86 compatible, have at least 256MB of RAM, and be able to boot from a CD. Additionally, it must be able to connect to the internet or use a USB drive.
It is important to note that Rescue CD cannot scan encrypted drives or files.
