Where do you get BitDefender Rescue CD?
Where do you download BitDefender Rescue CD?

The link in the article leads to an "about" page with login prompt for registered users. Back-tracking to the "front door" of the site and forward from there, leads to downloads, and a page of freebies and another page of malware-specific cleaners, but no Rescue CD.

So far, I've downloaded, built, and am testing Avira, Kaspersky, AVG and Trinity Rescue Kit.

AVG is *very* easy to use, mainly because they've designed the UI as a well-thought-out wizard; Avira and Kaspersky pretty easy too, but sometimes you have to do a few manual things like checkbox the drives you want to scan, via their unfamiliar Linux names.

Trinity Rescue Kit is a different ballgame; you boot to a raw Linux command prompt, and have to smell your way from there.

Good luck with that, given how difficult it can be to simply find a text editor in an unfamiliar Linux... "notepad? edit? Edit? Er... gedit? aedit, bedit, cedit..." where the answer may be "It's gfeditplus, because in 1997 Gary Fredricks developed a great new editor and Fred Blob enhanced it to the Plus version but wasn't allowed to name it fbedit for some arcane political reason".

Well, that's Linux for ya happy
