The AVG Rescue CD is a portable variant of AVG based on the Windows PE platform. It is distributed as a bootable CD intended for operating system recovery in such an event where the system cannot be loaded in the regular way - for example due to substantial virus infection. Initially the AVG Rescue CD will load the temporary operating system Windows PE edition and run AVG, which can be then used in the usual way for virus and spyware detection and removal. In addition, administration tools are available for advanced users.
