Antivirus System Rescue Disks/ISOs?

[jonj44]

Hello everyone (my 1st post here)!

I came here looking for links to the offline Microsoft Security Essentials and the older Avast from Archive.org. I looked around this sub-forum and didn't see anything regarding Antivirus System Rescue Disks in a quick review. I realize that the "demise" of optical drives is probably responsible, but does anyone know of similar, current .ISOs that could be written to a bootable USB?

I'm still using Windows 7 to keep my ancient 32-bit Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 running (and I still have both internal and external DVD drives too). I found the MSE and Avast links that I was looking for.

TIA

You likely already have it...* Avast Rescue Disk. "Avast doesn’t offer a standalone download ISO file for creating an Avast Rescue Disk. The only way you can create an Avast Rescue Disk is from within an Avast Security product. The good thing is that you can create this rescue disk even from the free version of Avast Antivirus, so you don’t have to buy one of Avast’s paid products."
