eScan Rescue Disk : Clean Malware from Windows PC

Malware infection is perhaps the biggest headache you can come across (except the rare incidents of hardware failure) in your Windows PC. When you become aware of such infection very quickly, you can take steps to remove it from your PC using a number of tools from within Windows itself. But when malware infection has proceeded to a larger number of files and the system has reached an almost unbootable state , then you have to use a bootable rescue disk to remove the malware infection and make Windows PC work again.

eScan Rescue Disk is one of such bootable disks that can be used to scan and remove the malware infection from your Windows PC. It is also able to fix some of the registry problems that could be caused by malware infections. You have to begin by downloading the escanrd.iso file to your PC (link near the end of this article).

Once the ISO file has been downloaded, you have to burn it to a blank CD using a program like ImgBurn. If your PC does not have a CD/DVD drive, then you will have to create a bootable USB flash drive using a program like Rufus. Obviously all these steps have to be performed on a working computer.
