To use Kaspersky Rescue Disk, you will need to create a bootable disk or USB drive. This can be done using the included ISO image or by downloading the live CD from the Kaspersky website. Once you have created your bootable media, simply boot your computer from it and follow the prompts.

While Kaspersky Rescue Disk is a useful tool for disinfecting infected machines, it is not a replacement for comprehensive antivirus software. Before using Kaspersky Rescue Disk, we advise doing a comprehensive system scan with a solution like Kaspersky Internet Security if you suspect a malware infection on your machine.

Features and Highlights

If your computer has been infected with malware, you can use the free Kaspersky Rescue Disk to remove it. It is not a substitute for a full antivirus solution but rather a last resort when other solutions have failed.

The main advantage of the Kaspersky Rescue Disk is that it can be used even if Windows will not start up properly. This makes it ideal for dealing with malware that is blocking Windows from starting or which cannot be removed by traditional means.

Kaspersky Rescue Disk can be downloaded for free from the Kaspersky website. It is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions and can be burned to a CD or USB drive. Once booted from the CD or USB, Kaspersky Rescue Disk will scan your computer for malware and attempt to remove any infected files.
