An alternate option to the thumb drive would be to use an online virus scanner. You could try Reimage which takes the bigger picture, fixing malfunctions across the full Windows system. At the very least, you could try its free scan to diagnose if it’s the registry and/or faulty files that are causing the issue then chose for yourself how to fix it (by yourself or using Reimage). I’ve been using it on 3 PCs for over a year now with great success, so wrote my own review of reimage for pc maintenance.

I tried your toolkit to convert my thumb drive into a bootable virus scanner using the kaspersky rescue disk iso image.But after following the steps when i tried to boot from my thumb drive it gave me an error “Could not find kernel image : linux” . i checked the syslinux.cfg file by opening it in notepad but it was blank.Please could you help me out in this!
Thanks!

I’d like to make a donation and get the BLTDVS toolkit link from you. However, since this article was posted back in September 2008 and anti-virus technology is constantly being updated, I was wondering if you have received recent reports that these steps are still working properly? Thanks!
