Configuring Avast Business Antivirus Policies: Enabling Rescue Disk

Rescue Disk is available for both Workstations and Servers.

If you suspect your devices are infected with malware and all other antivirus scans (including the Boot-time scan) were unable to resolve the issue, you can use Rescue Disk.

Rescue Disk enables you to scan devices when your system is not running. This method significantly increases your chances of detecting and removing malware because the malware is unable to counteract.
