CHAPTER 10.
KASPERSKY ANTI-
VIRUS RESCUE DISKS
Kaspersky Anti-Virus includes
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Rescue Disk
, a special
program allowing you to create a set of
fallback-recovery disks
.
The fallback-recovery (or rescue) disks are used for system recovery after a virus
attack. These disks include:
•
system files of the Linux operating system;
•
anti-virus
scanner;
•
anti-virus
databases.
The rescue disks work on the following principle. Let’s imagine that as a result of
a virus attack your computer is not capable of initial boot. In this case you have
to boot your computer using a bootable disk from the fallback set. The bootable
disk will load the Linux operating system, then start the anti-virus scanner. When
required, the load program will prompt for disks with the anti-virus bases. If
detected a virus the anti-virus scanner will ask for instructions on how to handle
it: to remove the virus from the file, to delete the infected file or to log the event.
