Analyst's View: Antivirus Rescue CDs 

,----[ Quote ]
| Rescue CDs work by booting into a different 
| operating system (commonly some form of 
| Linux), which rootkits and other threats that 
| actively resist detection or removal are 
| powerless against, because they never get 
| launched.

,----[ Quote ]
| Most rescue CDs actually boot into Linux, 
| making any infestation by Windows-based 
| malware just plain impossible.
