The AVG Rescue CD is essentially a portable version of AVG Anti Virus supplied through Linux distribution. It can be used in the form of a bootable CD or bootable USB flash drive to recover your computer when the system cannot be loaded normally, such as after an extensive or deep rooted virus infection. In short, the AVG Rescue CD enables you to fully remove infections from an otherwise inoperable PC and render the system bootable again.
Apart from the usual AVG functions (malware detection and removal, updates from internet or external device, etc.), the AVG Rescue CD also contains the following set of administration tools:

Midnight Commander a two panel file manager
Windows Registry Editor simple registry editor for more experienced users
TestDisk powerful hard drive recovery tool
Ping to test the availability of network resources (servers, domains, IP addresses)
Common Linux programs and services vi text editor, OpenSSH daemon, ntfsprogs etc.

Using the ISO to create a bootable CD/DVD
The downloaded ISO file can easily be used to create a CD or DVD with AVG Rescue CD. You will need an application for burning a CD/DVD (e.g. Nero, imgburn, BurnAware Free). Do not use the Windows built in burning feature, as it will not create a bootable disk.

In the burning application, choose option Burn Image file (ISO file or similar option). Insert the medium in the drive and confirm the burning. No special settings are needed.

Using the RAR/ZIP archive to create a USB bootable device
To create a USB flash drive variant of AVG Rescue CD, you will need to do the following:
Extract the archive directly on the removable USB flash drive. It has to be extracted in the root folder of the disk do not use a subfolder.
Run the extracted makeboot.bat batch file. When started it will overwrite the boot record. Make sure you are using the desired USB flash drive, otherwise it can make your Windows un bootable!
In the opened window press any key to prepare the USB flash drive.
After this process is finished (message will be displayed) you can close the window.
