AVG Rescue CD

A great addition for any IT pro’s toolkit which I read about the other day – AVG Rescue CD is bascially a portable version of AVG Anti-Virus running on a Linux live CD. You can use it as a bootable CD or even a bootable USB drive, and the best thing is that it’s free.

The AVG Rescue CD also contains the following set of admin 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 and the like.

Now I haven’t actually tried this yet, but from what I’ve read it’s not a bad little addition to the IT professional’s toolkit. If you want support for this from AVG, it is free if you have a purchased AVG product. Else check their forums.

Check it out here, and if you have tried it let me know what you think of it.
