Run Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 from USB Flash Drive

It is a well known fact that Emsisoft Anti-Malware 5 and Avira has been taking the first two spots in virus detection tests. It’s not too bad for Kaspersky as well because they are able to maintain at top position. One of my favorite tool that Kaspersky offers for free to everyone is Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10. Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 is designed to scan and disinfect x86 and x64-compatible computers that have been infected. The application should be used when the infection is so severe that it is impossible to disinfect the computer using anti-virus applications or malware removal utilities running under the operating system. In this case, disinfection is more efficient because malware programs do not gain control when the operating system is being loaded. In the emergency repair mode, you can only start objects scan tasks, update databases roll back updates and view statistics.

The Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 is in ISO format which you can burn it to an empty disc and boot up the computer with it. With USB flash drive becoming so common nowadays and newer generation motherboards can support booting from USB, Kaspersky development team has came up with a tool to install Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 to USB flash drive.


Here are the steps to download and install Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 to your USB flash drive.

1. Download Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10

2. Download Kaspersky USB Rescue Disk (RD2USB)

3. Insert your USB flash drive to your computer.

4. Run rescue2usb_1.0.0.4.exe and click Install. Kaspersky USB Rescue Disk will automatically run and selected your USB flash drive letter.

5. Click the Durchsuchen button and browse for the Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 which you’ve downloaded in step 1.

6. Click the Start button and this tool will first prompt you to format your USB flash drive if it is not empty followed by installing Grub loader and copying the Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 ISO file. When the process has been completed, you can boot up your computer with this USB flash drive.

This tool is very useful because it can write Rescue Disk (ISO) to USB without KAV/KIS 2011. All you need is a computer with an internet access to download the files and a USB flash drive to have Kaspersky scanning a computer. The current Kaspersky Rescue Disk v10.0.23.14 database release date is on July 22 2010 which is 2 and a half weeks old. You can update the Kaspersky Rescue Disk databases by going to My Update Center tab and click the Start update button. The download speed averaged at 30KB/sec and took about 7 minutes to finish downloading the update.

      hmmm… great idea… booting from USB is much faster than disc media and low cost for updated version (no need to burn again)…

      Is there any other AV vendors provide like this Ray? Maybe someday I wanna make a multi-boot USB bootable rescue…

      Well, Raymond had a post, almost one year back, about an excellent utility called SARDU.
      This is more than what you are asking about.

      Funny that when I run the program, pointing it to the library with the large Kaspersky download I simply get an open error “cannot access xxx” …however, I can open directory xxx a separate window with
      no problem.

      Thank You Very Much, Dear Friend Raymond for precious information and hint…

    • Decent60

      How big is the file on the USB stick without the updates?
      I have a lot of old USB sticks that I want to do something useful with, but sadly, not much use for 256MB drives anymore (wasn’t that much to begin with but still was useful).

    • Jeff

      I have windows 7 home premium. File not found error during install of ISO with RD2USB. Burned ISO to CD, and get ACPI errors.

    • http://jpangulo.com.ar Juan Pablo

      @tridentcore There are many “rescue disk” like Avira, AVG, NOD32, F-Secure, etc.

      @Raymond: How can I update KRD10 manually? It’s very painful download everytime the signatures changes a new ISO file.

    • Jim Stanley

      I just tried Avira, Emisoft, and Bitdefender on a computer that had the TDSS rootkit on it. None of them could get rid of it. I then used Kaspersky and it got rid if it. Good job Kaspersky!

      My pen disk got a virus just by connecting it to a cybercofee computer.

    • Adriano Martins

      Baixei o ISO e o rescue2usb_1.0.0.5.exe e não funcionou, uso um pendrive de 8 GB.

    • shaam

      I have installed Kaspersky on a Flash Drive but the problem is that you have to download the same updates over and over again when you are working on a different computer and sometimes you may not have a fast connection available. Is their a way to incorporate the latest signatures to the USB drive so that it won’t take so long to update signatures?
