Just thought it might be a sticky or a thread where one could post links to and experiences with AV rescue discs and other bootable rescue media
To start: some links:

Kaspersky also has a Linux based KAV7.0 CD (discontinued since Aug'08 )and PE builder based KAV8.0 rescue CD.

 

kaspersky has a Kav 2009 linux cd in beta. haavent posted a link due to it being in beta and no way to update it
drweb has a linux based recovery cd in beta.
f-secure has a linux based recovery cd
link
scroll down the link is on that page

 

Are you referring to the Linux based CD ? It has been discontinued.
But the PE Builder based CD is not in beta and is bundled with the 2009 products itself. (See the link to the KL support site, in my post earlier )

 

As part of Norton 2009 beta, Symantec has released as new CD based recovery tool.
See here.

 

ugh annoying. wonder why they discontinued it?
not everyone has access to a windows xp cd for bartpe

 

I heard it was due to boot-legging of the Linux based CDs. With the BART PE versions they can ensure only people with valid KL subscription can make up-to-date Rescue CDs.

 

Actually I don't know where you got the info from that the linux boot cd was discontinued...they never released it to discontinue it!

It's still in beta, and an updated cd was put on the FTP server just recently.

 

i didnt think they had discountined it.
updated build yesterday according to the folder lol.

 

Well I found a link here http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Kaspersky_Rescue_Disk/1213647614/1. Is this the latest one? Where is the FTP link?

 

F-Secure Rescue CD

http://www.f-secure.com/linux-weblog/2008/06/19/f-secure-rescue-cd-300-released/

 

here ya go

 

Here also:

When I last saw this link:
http://dnl-eu10.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/RescueDisk/

The CD image was almost 1 month old. On asking one of my pals, he told me that Linux CD was out and to use PE builder instead.

So I am guessing KL, updates CD every-month or so. Right ?

EDIT:
Ok, root cause found. My pal saw this site and while talking to me in a non-english lanuaguage "not currently available " was lost in transition to become "has been discontinued".

 

Sorry, paper bag moment.
Please wait while I hunt down and kill my good friend who mislead me.
