The AVG Rescue CD provides a portable variation of Grisoft AVG antivirus and antispyware software. The CD is bootable and definition updates can be installed to either the hard drive or a removable USB drive. Coverage is limited to Windows XP and Server 2003. On the plus side, it operates with FAT, FAT32, and NTFS file systems. While the flexibility of the approach is nice, the price - $149.00 - may knock it out of the ballpark for many users.

Description

• Provides a convenient way to quickly scan and remediate infected systems
• Definition updates can be installed to a flash drive, on the LAN, or on the local drive
• Price tag is hefty and may offset the convenience factor
• Included utilities are available from a wide range of sources for free

Guide Review - AVG Rescue CD: Antivirus Review

• Command-line utility
• Registry editor
• IP configuration tool
• Scan disk tool
• Text editor
• File manager
• Network drive mapping utility

While such convenience is nice, it comes at a hefty price - $149 for a year's use. These same utilities can be accessed from the Windows operating system (indeed, many are portable executable (PE) files), or downloaded as freeware from a variety of reputable sources and dropped to a custom-created bootable F-Prot CD, which would cost nothing, save a little elbow grease.
