Avast Rescue Disk is a system recovery solution that scans and cleans computers infected with malware, viruses, or other types of malicious software. Typically, this type of tool is used when the infection is so severe that the operating system cannot boot normally or when the malware cannot be removed by a standard antivirus program within the OS.
Here are some typical features of Avast Rescue Disk:
– Autonomous start: You can boot your computer from the Avast Rescue Disk, meaning it runs independently of your operating system. This is often necessary to remove malware that is deeply embedded in the system and difficult to remove while running.
– In-depth analysis: Enables in-depth analysis of all hard drive partitions, including areas normally hidden from the operating system.
– User interface: It typically provides a simple user interface that guides you through the scanning and cleaning process.
– Updates: Before creating a rescue disk, you usually have the option to update virus definitions to ensure the tool is equipped with the latest malware signatures.
– Reports and journals: Can generate reports and logs to help you understand what was found and what actions were taken.
Regarding "AvastPE Antivirus," "PE" often refers to "Preinstallation Environment." This is a lightweight version of the Windows operating system frequently used for recovery and repair tasks. AvastPE Antivirus would therefore be a version of Avast Antivirus designed to run in a Windows PE environment, offering capabilities similar to those of Avast Rescue Disk, but perhaps with some additional features specific to the PE environment.
