The Kaspersky rescue disc IS NOT A LIVE LINUX CD. It is a removal tool that if you follow my instructions will clean your mess up.




That Kapersky tool (and the one from AVG) is designed to function within the comfort zone of a Microsoft user, but still work with Windows disabled - and contain the open-source (Linux) elements required to recognise and eliminate Microsoft-dependent malicious code.
Invasive software that relies upon Windows' vulnerabilities to hide and "mutate" can not perform its trickery when your Microsoft operating system is dormant and Linux (from AVG or Kapersky) is running the show.

Just make sure all your imortant files are backed up, then procede with confidence.
Worst case - you accidentally scramble your drive and have to re-format. If this goes down, wipe the drive squeaky clean with "Darryl's Boot and Nuke" (D-BAN) and reformat to NTFS. Your system will be sanitized and ready for a fresh install... not such a bad thing...


just looking for clues...
