Kaspersky Rescue Disk

Kaspersky Rescue Disk is designed to scan and disinfect x86 and x64-compatible computers that have been infected. The application should be used when the infection is at such level that it is impossible to disinfect the computer using anti-virus applications or malware removal utilities (such as Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool) running under the operating system. In this case, disinfection is more efficient because malware programs do not gain control when the operating system is being loaded.

In system rescue mode only object scans and database updates are available as well as update rollback and viewing of statistics. You can take the following steps:

• Specify the virus scan task settings:
  • change security level;
  • change actions to be performed on detected objects;
  • create list of objects to be scanned;
  • change type of scanned objects;
  • restrict scan duration;
  • specify settings for scanning compound files;
  • change the scan method;
  • restore default scan settings.
• Specify update task settings:
  • select update source;
  • edit the proxy server settings;
  • specify regional settings;
  • roll back last update if necessary.
• Configure additional settings:
  • select categories of threats to detect;
  • create trusted zone;
  • configure notification settings;
  • specify storage time for report files;
  • specify storage settings for quarantined and backup objects.
• Create report of scan and update tasks.
• View application operation statistics.
