After much research into how to boot from a USB containing SystemRescueCD, I followed the good advice of several on this forum and chose to download Rufus. My Bitdefender 2015 immediately gave the following message.rufus.jpg

Hi,
Post a link where the member referred you too,
Most free downloads come with hidden extras it is mandatory to read the install options of all offered free utilities for crapware included,
But it seems that popup blocked the entire site and not just the download :/
Big brother looking out for you ?
Reason for a link to the site is to test with mbam malicious site detection

And when I tried this link just now, no alert message from Bitdefender. I know I didn't dream this, I have the screenshot as proof. lol The only issue I can think of is I am using Bitdefender Total Security 2015 and the website is using Malwarebytes. Perhaps they don't play nice on occasion.
thanks WHS and ThrashZone for the quick responses.
