    I got the impression from this post you were browsing the contents of the recovery CD in Windows.

    the avira thing doesnt need to go on the stick, just copy the reg file and rkill onto the memory stick, then run them on the broken machine, then hopefully you should be able to do a full malwarebytes scan

    Are you putting it in the drive first, selecting restart, then pressing F12 as soon as it powers on to select boot from CD rather than hard disk?

    I'll leave you to follow Closed's excellent advice first rather than confuse the issue.
