|
|---|
| http://www.esecurityplanet.com/network-security/review-3-free-bootable-rescue-discs.html |
| From the article: " We recently reviewed some free bootable antivirus discs that you can use to scan and remove malware from outside of Windows. Now we’ll review some general bootable rescue discs. These discs can help you repair, restore, or diagnose almost any computer problem. You can run virus scans, backup important files, restore the boot configuration, cleanup temporary files, manage drivers and services, and much more. They boot into their own OS so you can use them even if you can’t get Windows to boot up. " |
Any one of these discs can help get your Windows PC back on track.
