Hello,

I think that SARDU, the toolbox in the palm of the hand rather than a suitcase full of dozens of rescue CDs, is a good, very good idea. So I began to communicate about it and promote it in my French pages about security and privacy.

The use of a USB key is preferred. It seems to me that some tools crash on some systems with very little RAM. It seems to me that they can use the USB memory as virtual memory. To check.

There are only six out of fifteen antivirus that work for me now.

• AOSS Rescue (PCTools) - Of no interest. Product expired. I managed to run it under Sardu 2.0.3 on a 32-bit single processor compromised but it saw nothing. It does not start at all on a 64-bit Muticore (or is it a problem with Sardu 2.0.4.3?)
  
  
• AVG Rescue - Ok (including update of signatures databases and program (in 2 minutes) if wired connection - I have not managed to initiate a connection via WiFi) - Very easy to use.
  
  
• Avira Antivir Rescue - Self check failed !
  
  
• BitDefender Rescue - Ok (including update of signature databases and program - wired connection) - A bit cryptic to use. Starts in 800 * 600, on a machine in full HD, says it is insufficient but does not allow to change!
  
  
• DrWeb Rescue - Cannot find boot device. Can't access tty; job control turned off
  
  
• eScan Rescue - Ok (update failed - signatures databases whithin the ISO are updated from time to time - during this test they were 40 days old)
  
  
• F-Secure Rescue - Rescue CD 3.14.44905 - Linux Kernel 2.6.28.4 - 3276 MB RAM found (on a machine with 8192 MB RAM and Core I7) Could not mount disk to /mnt-system. Can't access tty; job control turned off
  
  
• GData Rescue - Ok but the release was of 31 march 2011 (one years old at time of testing) - updates are available only to licensed GData
  
  
• Kaspersky Rescue - Kernel panic - Crash
  
  
• Panda Rescue - Aside from a menu that reads "Access to the Help", nothing else!
  
  
• VBA Rescue - (vba32rescue) - Nothing happen!
  
  
• Ubuntu MRT Rescue - /init : line 1: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found
  
  
• Acronis Rescue - Splash screen and nothing else !
  
  
• MSSS 64 (WDO 64) Rescue - Ok requires updating signature databases
  
  
• MSSS 32 (WDO 32) Rescue - Ok requires updating signature databases

Thanks for your great job.
Best soluction for see if is a problem of SARDU is test the ISO with a rewritable. If works fine...

Today or tomorrow I check your problems and release a beta version if i solve them. You can help me testing if the changes solve the problems?

I'll test only the ISO who don't works in a formatted USB with three PC

[davidecosta]

I tried with one PC, one noteboox (Core2) and one netbook (Atom)

With the netbook don't works fine. I think that is a problem of ISO, not SARDU, with linux and atom

1° test: download last Aoss, Avira, DrWeb and F-Secure

Aoss (Default) works fine
Avira works fine
DrWeb (Advanced) works fine in notebook. Don't works fine with the PC (Cannot find boot device. Can't access tty; job control turned off). Tried to burn original ISO and NOT works fine with the same error. Isn't SARDU's problem.
F-Secure: very very slow with the download of updates, pressed CTRL+ C , after downloaded the updates, works fine.

2° test:

I tried with PC Desktop and one notebook

Kaspersky Rescue works fine
Panda (i choice of menu) works fine
VBA don't works with PC Desktop, works fine with notebook. Burned the ISO and.....the same error. Is't a error of SARDU
Acronis Works fine


Everyone can make the Test?

Re,

Other tests this afternoon on an old PC monocore with 1GO Ram.

Quite all is running.

I wonder if it's not a problem with some Linux kernel embedded with each Rescue when they are facing a 8GO PC.
Perhaps there is a 4GO limit in certain Linux kernels? I do not know. I'm not a Linux user.

More tests necessary but I do not have the material to play with memory size.

Anyway, it's not a SARDU problem.

My PC desktop have 8 gb di ram.

HI i think most good function of security you can receive using antivirus Spyware Detector. It is height quality software.

[davidecosta]

Mmm, exists the Live CD version?

Hi,

The AVG link (permanent link - always last) seems to be

G-Data
Have a look at Bootmedium 2014
http://www.gdatasoftware.co.uk/support/downloads/tools.html

As a helper, we are always looking for things easy to do for the one who is beeing helped (and do not understand anything at computers).
We are specificaly looking for anti-rootkit, like GMER, TDSSKiller, Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit (MBAR)

Malwarebyte’s Anti-Malware
RogueKiller
