AVG Rescue CD - NOW FREE!!!

[Mirza]

Hello Guys,

I thought I'd share this with you fellow techies. AVG has decided to offer their Rescue CD for FREE, my guess its that they went away from Microsoft WINPE environment to using linux Distro. Well here you go, enjoy.

Ah, can't post links yet... .a%v%g%.%com/cz-en/avg-rescue-cd#tba3

Best,
Mirza

P.S. don't forget to remove % from the link

Thanks guys. However at the site when you click on the download for the cd or usb version it says that the file does not exist.

It works for me.

The first few times I tried it it didn't work, it said

File does not exist.

After I tried changing my settings it works, I'm downloading it now. I am using Firefox. I think it must be a error on the system that is letting it download without a license. It doesn't say anything about being free and it is on the AVG paid site and the link is in the business security section.

FAQ and Free Forum support for AVG Free edition users (or users of none AVG products), technical support is provided to our partners, resellers as well as users of paid AVG products.


Feel free to grab a copy now!

Its probably heavy download traffic thats effecting the link.

I tried it with Firefox, and I received the "No File Exists error", switched to IE and it worked fine.

OP, maybe you can edit your original post just to make a note of that.

Thanks for the link though, this can come in handy!

I was considering buying this a few days ago . I wonder if there's a difference...

EDIT: Yeah, there is. The one I was going to buy from AVG was a winpe system that had more features than this (like services/drivers, for example). I'm still going to use this linux based scanner though, it seems worth a download (I like AVG and have been slaving drives for a while)

I honestly would stay away from AVG. I've seen so many reinfections of viruses with AVG on the system that I remove it from the system anymore. To think that rescue disk is going to do any better would be silly.

Thanks, downloading now

According to their site it IS free.

if we use tis on a USB stick, when you update the virus database and program and other stuff, does it store this update on the usb stick on on the computer ??

I have tested the AVG rescue cd and its really good.. Tested it against the others like f-secure, bit defender but AVG was able to find the viruses on my test computer while the others did not.. Was very impressed....
