About
Kaspersky Rescue Disk is a free bootable antivirus tool designed to scan and disinfect severely infected Windows computers. When malware prevents your operating system from starting or when viruses have deeply embedded themselves into your system, Rescue Disk provides a safe, isolated environment to clean your PC without the malware being active. This makes it highly effective against rootkits, ransomware, bootkits, and other persistent threats that resist removal through normal antivirus software.
Key Features
Safe Environment
Boots independently of Windows, preventing malware from interfering with the scan
Deep Scanning
Detects rootkits, bootkits, and deeply hidden threats that evade normal antivirus
Updatable Definitions
Download the latest virus signatures via internet connection before scanning
File Manager
Built-in file browser to backup data before removing infections
