Review of several rescue CDs

Using rescue CDs to ferret out malware is a great idea, in theory at least. Getting them to actually work is another story. Don’t make the same mistakes I did.

Never know when a good rescue cd will come in handy.

Sounds like a poor site.

Well, thank you Flash, for editing this post and making it sound sillier than it was.

Problem with that list is that none of them are really "rescue cds". They are dedicated anti-malware/AV cds which I wouldn't really qualify as a rescue cd to diagnose and repair a system that is having issues unless you know for a fact that your issue is a virus/malware.
