Kaspersky products have already built a name amongst the most powerful security systems that remove viruses, spyware, worms, and other malicious activity from your system.
Kaspersky Rescue Disk is such a product, with a twist. You can burn the image to a CD, and set it to boot from the CD when using it on an infected CD-ROM drive.
This tool is very simple to use, and it has a standard and visually-appealing interface.
You simply select the objects Kaspersky has to scan (disk boot sectors, hidden startup objects, or local hard drives), and hit the scan button.
The Rescue Disk will make a report of all malicious objects found in your system, like viruses and Trojans, but also adware and other similar software.
Any found infected files can be quarantined, disinfected, or removed.
In the Settings menu you can configure the current security level, file types, scan optimization (i.e. skip files scanned longer than a given number of seconds), archive scanning, installation packages, and others.
Updates are done on a regular basis, and notifications can be set for malware detection or modifications, obsolete databases, failed tasks, or others.
Our tests enabled the Rescue Disk to discover and remove a few spyware from our systems, but of course it took its time for a full scan.
CPU and memory are fairly used when Kaspersky Rescue Disk is active.
So, if you want an effective way to cleanup the mess left by viruses and malware, use Kaspersky Rescue Disk. It's free!

Norman Malware Cleaner is one of the new apps in the security software industry, promising to keep computers around the world away from malware and other dangerous files that could compromise user’s safety.
Although it comes packed as an over 130 MB file, Norman Malware Cleaner has adopted a different approach.
It doesn’t have an installer, since viruses are now attempting to block installation of antiviruses and security tools, so it’s being delivered as an executable file, which means you only need to double click the file to launch the app.
The interface is pretty basic and that’s a very good thing, since the purpose of the whole software is to find and delete infections.
There are four scanning modes, quick, normal, full and custom, so choose the one that fits you best. Of course, the full mode will need much more time, while the quick one is better for a quick analysis of the computer.
During our testing, scanning the computer in quick mode took around 2 minutes, while the full option needed around 20 minutes to complete. Still, the latter was a bit more efficient as it checked every single file on the computer for malicious data.
There are multiple options available in the dedicated tab, giving you the power to enable verbose logging, quarantine, archive unpacking, memory scanning, FakeAV scanning, rootkit cleaning, multithreading, detection of potentially unwanted programs and Sandbox.
The Quarantine tab provides a quick look over the suspicious files detected by Norman Malware Cleaner, with dedicated tools to restore or delete the files permanently at the bottom of the main window.
Another good thing about Norman Malware Cleaner is the fact that it’s free, but otherwise it won’t do much more than your regular antivirus. Still, if cleaning your computer of infected files wasn’t possible with the existing tools, this one is really worth a chance.
