It's an ISO image you can burn to a CD and scan and clean your computer before your Operating system starts. It's an AVG Rescue CD.
This process is sometimes necessary, since an installed version of your antivirus software can be already compromised. What to you need to do is boot from this bootable media and scan and clean your PC from viruses.

- an ISO image that can be easily burned to CD
- Compressed version that can be installed to a bootable flash drive.

Hi,
also Avira has a bootable rescue cd called Avira rescue system.
When badly infected doing a double scan can be useful 😉
