Hi Nesivos!

Thanks for the great info.

I might add that you should give Bitdefender Rescue Mode a trial run to become acquainted with it and to make certain that it runs correctly.

Rescue Mode boot_s into a Tiny Core Linux environment with Bitdefender's scanner which will help aid in virus removal that can't be achieved while Windows is running.

Nice link, Nesivos

ONT and Christian have a good thread going here, and my thought is ONT's question #7, in do we disable Windows ELAM as to not conflict with Bitdefenders?
