Check the MD5 after downloading. Though MD5 is relatively easy
to forge:
https://support.kaspersky.com/4162
They ought to supply SHA 256 or SHA512 as well as the MD5.
Strange for a firm that is supposed to be proficient in security.

"Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 is no longer supported. use Kaspersky2018."
The 2018 version scans the OS so fast I wonder if the definitions are
even included with it. I can't see any place to download them once you
boot the disk.
Yes, they changed it after I last accessed it.
It now points to:
https://support.kaspersky.com/14221
And although it says you can boot it from a USB (in system requirements), they don't tell you how to.
The old link to the Rescue2usb utility has been removed.
Sh*tty support ....

Found the correct link at https://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/krd2018
which leads to downloading https://rescuedisk.s.kaspersky-labs.com/updatable/2018/krd.iso
Checking out the iso image, it's a customized isohybrid build of gentoo linux, suitable for burning to an optical disc, or copying to a usb
device.
To copy such an image to a usb device, this page has links to a few
programs that can be used. The page is for Mageia linux, but the
instructions will work for a Gentoo linux iso image too. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Dump_Mageia_ISO_on_a_USB_flash_drive_-_Alternative_tools
One important thing to understand, is that the iso image contains it's
own partition table, so when copying it to a usb flash drive, it has
to be copied to the drive, not to an existing partition on the drive.
If the drive currently has any partitions on it, make sure they are not mounted.
Any data currently on the drive, including it's partition table will be overwritten.
Be patient when copying the half gig iso image to the usb drive. It will
take a while, as they are much slower than a hard drive. Depending on
the usb drive, and other factors, it may appear to complete quickly,
even though it's still being written. Give it at least 5 minutes.
When you reboot the computer, if it ignores the usb stick and tries to
boot directly to the hard drive reboot it again, and watch for any
sort of a message such as "Press f7 for setup". Which key needs to be
pressed will vary depending on the computer's bios. Once in the setup,
look for any options similarly worded to "boot order", and in that
section ensure the usb device entry is moved to be before the hard
drive option, then save the setup changes, and reboot, which should
then load the recovery system.

PS There is a warning:

//Kaspersky Rescue Disk 2018 makes changes to the operating system

WTF does that mean ? What "changes" ?

Maybe they're referring to you having used some
"quarantine" function after malware is found ?
If you quarantine a file (say winload.exe), that
could brick the OS.

Hum, the MD5 link came up 404. Never done that before.
Weird.
The last ISO I downloaded (a couple of days ago) has the
following checksums:
MD5: 9F617FD4573CAAC2DEFC69017DB4234C
SHA-1: D7B6B15E1DBA821E89A439B962357214DADF0995
SHA-256:
DBDA178E1CD89DBC47E8B7304A1AF5B9F52B7D8BC8DA7DD25FAC080E8C60E4CE
Anyone confirm those numbers ?
I'm kinda confused as I suspect you guys are talking Linux at times
but I"m not sure. I only have XP.
I successfully made a bootable USB drive with the krb.iso using Rufus
and the dd option. I sure didn't take an hour to run the kaspersky
scan after I booted it. More like a minute.. Is there a way to look
inside the iso to see if the virus definitions are there?
