Computer has a virus and is virtually locked up. I need a rescue disk so I bought Defender 2009 and of course the rescue disk procedure is so complicated I'm stuck . So I'm back to square one and out $20. Any help is appreciated.

You may want to look into the AVAST BART CD.

If you PC is screwed up that bad I'd consider formatting the drive and reinstalling the operating system. You should be able to easily recover your important files by installing the drive into another PC as a "slave drive" prior to performing a clean install.

Saw this recently:


DiskInternals Linux Recovery is a handy no-cost utility that runs under any version of Windows and designed to recover the erased or damaged information that is kept on Ext2/Ext3 partitions.
DiskInternals Linux Recovery might come in handy on a number of occasions when due to the unforeseen contingencies there was a loss of important data stored on Ext2/Ext3 disks.
DiskInternals Linux Recovery can recover both the files you just accidentally deleted and the files which have been erased long time ago. It’s also capable of restoring corrupted files and can read and recover the information located on an inaccessible drive. The files you restore can be saved on any (including network) disk, which is visible to the host operating system.
The utility also allows you to repair a corrupt or damaged partition table and attempt to restore a disk after a serious crash, so you’ll have a chance to repair a serious malfunction right away.
OS: Windows 95, 98, 2000, Me, XP, 2003, and Vista.
