Thoughts on Bitdefender Rescue CD

If you’d rather not install the desktop version of one of Bitdefender’s security products, Bitdefender Rescue CD is a great option. You can get some benefits of the virus scanner without having to boot into the operating system. From the program’s settings, select Enable the file drop zone to place an always-open box on your screen into which you can drop single files or whole folders for Bitdefender to scan. Other useful options include the ability to exclude certain file types from scans, scan archive files, and scan files that are smaller than a particular size. In addition to a virus scanner, a shortcut on the desktop of Bitdefender Rescue CD makes it easy to download and install the free remote access program TeamViewer. Although it takes some time to download the software and Bitdefender no longer updates the program, meaning that it’s not ideal for detecting newer viruses, there’s not much to dislike about Bitdefender Rescue CD.
