More than a boot CD, something similar to Active@ Bootdisk. A WinPE based utlilty disk with virus, trojan and malware scanner that can boot from CD, USB flash drives or even HDD. Like Active@ bootdisk, it should allow to connect to networks and internet for latest updates (very handy when using USB Flash).
Adding utilities such as disk imaging, data recovery, password recovery / reset, internet browser, text editor, hex editor, partition utilities, file browsing etc.
Maybe go the BartPE way and allow for plugins to be created.
Love your products and a Comodo Rescue Disk would be fantastic. (:WIN)
no what it does it that it schedules a scan before windows starts, it scans everything before anything has a chance to start. This is what it looks like when it runs.
Yep, you could still be infected even if you run a scan at boot time. MBR infectors, though rare, do exist and they would be executed when the disk is intiialized and before the boot-time scan commenced. The concept of a bootable CD with AV on it is a better way to go.
Well this is all great but what about the new and real threads of those viruses that rewrite motherbord chip hardware and BIOS? A good tool to protect that would be my number one.
Its a grate idea. :-TU
They should include some useful Apps with it too as well as a AV Scanner. I.e Firefox, as Bit Defenders AVBCD does, Start-Up Repair tools, System File Repair Tools and I’m sure they could put CSC in there if they wanted.
I have a Computer business and I use a disc to boot into called wininternals for fixes and repairs, it boots into a windows invironment its great for certain fixes but it has no virus or antispyware included.
So a Comodo bootable disc for fixes would be great!
One important point should be the easy usage of the CD( or tools). I work as an operator (as an inteface between users and admins) in a university and i can say even the professors can be scared with techspeak
Something like this maybe works:
download ComodoRescueCDCreator.exe (click the link… download is a complicated thing )
put in a (re)writable cd/dvd
run the exe
download the LatestAV.databasefile
copy the file to an usb
boot the corrupted comp with the cd
plug in the usb
Everything is OK. Go get a coffee, we solve your problem…
Bios virus are still not practical of hackers do do it and use them, they have to flash the hole bios, and to do that they have to pass truth a series of things.
