AVG released Linux LiveCD to restore Windows-system

AVG introduced a free LiveCD image based on the GNU / Linux operating system and designed to recover Windows computers.

The announced AVG Rescue CD is a system image that can be burned onto a CD or USB flash drive in order to boot from the media and repair the damaged Windows installation (FAT and NTFS file systems are supported). According to AVG, the disc contains a set of tools that allows you to restore the system after attacks from viruses, spyware and other problems that led to the inability to work in the Windows environment. In addition, such a boot disk may be useful for restoring Linux-based systems, since it contains a number of console utilities.

Using GNU / Linux to create such recovery-drives, designed for Windows, can not be called a novelty. For example, a year and a half ago, the domestic company Doctor Web released a similar solution, called Dr.Web LiveCD. In it, the Gentoo Linux distribution was used as the base system, and users were offered console and graphical interfaces for running antivirus to restore the Windows system.

The Linux distribution used in the AVG Rescue CD includes, among other things, the console file manager Midnight Commander, a simple registry editor Windows Registry Editor, a set of network utilities (for example, ping), the console text editor vi, the SSH daemon OpenSSH, a set of tools to work with NTFS (ntfsprogs).
