Question about Rescue Disk Advice

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

The instructions for the rescue disk says that versions are changing all the time so you should create the USB or rescue disk right before you need it!!??

How in the world would I know when malware/viruses etc would hit me so I could make a disk or usb file just before time? I think making one is a great idea and I would like to make a usb file, but don’t you have a way of updating the rescue file on an ongoing basis?

There is no such function yet. But maybe in future. The rescue disk is new.

You could use another PC to create one.

Or you could use Kaspersky rescue disk, which also contains a registry editor and an file browser.

Be aware that whilst you can boot up from the rescue CD, as far as I have been able to determine no one has actually been able to do so from a flash drive made from Avast 2014.
