thanks,!

If you have KAV or KIS installed on your system or any friend's PC, just use the distribution folder to get them on your desktop and copy them to your bootable USB stick and ur done.

where is the distribution folder. I didnt found at KAV installation folder.

Do i need to extract the files from the iso image? to burn it onto a disk or just the zipfile unopened?

2 things:
1.
The fixgt2.bat only supports drive letter from d: to k:, which is bad, because my flash drive was m:
I did change it to h:, but a lot of unskilled users can't.

2.
I made the Kaspersky USB Rescue Disk and booted a computer with it.
It went fine until it got to load dhcpcd. After about 20 sek it startet to shut down, without any notice and without scanning the computer, so this USB Rescue Disk is worthless.

Tested succesfully.

Use UNetBootin to build your KAV2009 rescue usb stick.

Download unetbootin from sourceforge.net, launch it, select Diskimage, enter the path of your KAV iso, click OK, done.

When you boot from your usb stick, you'll see Unetbootin menu with some entries.

The right one is "rescue".

If you leave your pc unattended, it will loop around the "Default" option.

To avoid this, open up syslinux.cfg with a text editor, modify first lines from this:

default vesamenu.c32
prompt 0
menu title UNetBootIn
timeout 100
label unetbootindefault
menu label Default
kernel /ubnkern
append initrd=/ubninit root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot quiet
label ubnentry0
menu label rescue
kernel /isolinux/rescue
append initrd=/isolinux/rescue.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot quiet

to this:

default vesamenu.c32
prompt 0
menu title Kaspersky Rescue 2009
timeout 100
label unetbootindefault
menu label Default
kernel /isolinux/rescue
append initrd=/isolinux/rescue.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot quiet
#kernel /ubnkern
#append initrd=/ubninit root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs #cdroot quiet
label ubnentry0
menu label rescue
kernel /isolinux/rescue
append initrd=/isolinux/rescue.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot quiet

Now your usb stick will complete boot even if it's unattended.

Hope this helps.

Does the steps above allows the virus database updates to be saved (persistent changes)?

Thanks,
Steve

asking about kernal or somting for linux ...

Thanks for this solution.

Cheers,
Henk-Sjoerd.

Upon attemting to boot from the flash drive: (Created with Gentooo as per instructions)

'Could not find kernal image: linux"

So, fail. ;<

Thanks 4 this tips.
I've been searching another solution than cd boot n i got this.
And it easy to build.

Thank you very much, everythink is perfect!

The ftp link doesn't work any longer, and Kaspersky seems to have removed the file from the relevant directory at:

http://downloads1.kaspersky-labs.com/utils/RescueDisk/

Can the same techniques be used to make bootable USB drives with ISO files from other antivirus programs? Avira makes a rescue program at:

http://www.free-av.com/en/tools/12/avira_antivir_rescue_system.html

http://devbuilds.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/RescueDisk/

When I run fixgt2.bat and type in the drive letter of flash drive, It says the drive letter you entered was not recognized. Please give me solution

I don't know why it show me that kind of error message
I entered right drive letter, but it show sme
"you entered not recoginzed drive letter"

SAME HERE.
NOT RECOGNIZED DRIVE LETTER..

Is anyone finding that the link for the Gentoo Bootable USB maker isnt download correctly? I only get 487kbs then the download says it is finished and then when i try to open the archive WinRar says that its broken. Any else have this problem? Is there any chance that you could mirror it somewhere else a .zip that is full so that i could download it? Thank you alot.

Super nice tip. Had to track down the rescue ISO, but it worked like a charm. Thank u!

Can someone explain how to update KRD antivirus database?When I try to update I get error messages "Could not find update server"?

hello i will try more then 50 time but all time i got damaged winrar achive of Gentoo Linux Bootable USB Maker plz reupload it i think ur winrar achive are currept plz reupload its urgent.

After you have your Rescue Disk running from USB, start it up with ethernet, and do the updates.
Open File Manager (provided in menu)and navigate to last folder called Var/KL/ and copy 'bases_rd' to Drives/c:
Boot back into windows or OS and reneame 'bases' on USB to say 'bases_old' copy 'bases_rd' from c:\ to USB and rename to bases.
If you restart Rescue, and click on updates, you will find the status 'Up to date".
My only concern was whether it contained the parent virus list file (say .xml) which points to all the updates, I ran it and it found a virus that SAV had placed in Quarantine. It also said 'Up to date' and the dir structure is the same, so I am quite sure its all good.

Upon attempting to boot from the flash drive: (Created with Gentooo as per instructions)
got the message:

Could not find kernel image: linux

boot:

please help me with this problem

Kaspersky released their own tool:

http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/rescuedisk/main?qid=208282163

You can download KAV2010 Rescue disk, and a utility to copy it to USB.

thanx mbouy

How do I get it to start scanning from start? There is no choice, just floppy, HDD and network!

Kaspersky has their own USB boot tool. It works on the same concept but better (no batch file or questions). You can find it here ...

* Always make sure you can even boot to USB before wasting your time.

I could not get the USB Boot Tool to work on my Dell OptiPlex PC's. I finally found unetbootin. There may be better tools, but this definitely worked for me. With the Rescue2USB program, the rescue program would automatically run in Text mode with no Graphical User interface and it seemed to lock. As mentioned the Unebootin program created a useable boot disk using the same downloaded iso file and allowed selection of the Graphical Interface, although slightly different then the CD version, it was still easy to select the proper Graphical Interface configuration. I accidentally stumbled on this program as it is recommended for the Avira USB Rescue Disk. I used the same instructions.

Hi,
I have a ransomware virus that had created a boot loop and I couldn't boot up my DEll latitude d630. I downloaded the files and created the rescue program on to a usb. I started laptop and went to boot menu, selected the usb, got the updates, and started the scans. I went thru and found some files which it said to delete them. I then did the reboot from the rescue program as it said, it said to remove the usb when it started to reboot and not to puch any buttons until it got to the windows screen. I got a black screen with INIT: sending processes the kill signal, it had several items listed:
deactivating swap devices...
stopped spind...
stopped pwgen...
and several others, on the right side of screen it had a [ok] across from the list. It has stopped here on this screen and has been here overnite. What do I do next? Ican't even turn it off now.?? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Its a very informative blog, sometimes the anti virus affect the system and how can we remove this is the most important thing. There are many type of ways you can remove the virus and function your system very smoothly. Kasper sky rescue disc is one of the best bootable anti-virus rescue disk out there with an fully functional option to download latest anti-virus definitions updates from internet.

created usb but when booting it says could not find kernel image, please help.
