Avast Rescue Disk on legacy Systems in practice (32-bit CPUs)

Is Avast Rescue Disc is able to boot and scan legacy systems with older x86 CPUs? Is anyone experienced with testing it with x86 CPUs? I am afraid there is extremely few CPU models which are 32-bit CPU and have SSE3. I am struggling, as currently there is very hard to find feasible solution for offline scanning by live system for legacy hardware.

Hello PabloEm, welcome to the community.

I’m not exactly sure rescue disc compatibility, but last Avast version which supports non-SSE3 CPUs are around version 21.4. So if you make a rescue disc with these Avast versions, you may get a working one.
