    You're incorrect. The Avast Rescue Disc works really well and "deals with" malware infections very well.


    Does it remove Avast AV ?? :rotfl:

    This is taken from their Avast website regarding the features of their free tier antivirus, take note:
    "Detect and block viruses, malware, spyware, ransomware and phishing. We use smart analytics to stop threats before they affect you."

    Bold styling added by me for the benefit of relevancy and replying to the incorrect assertion that Avast would not help with malware.

    Feel free to double check here, scroll down to where it says This is no run-of-the-mill free antivirus to see this and other features.
