Rescue Environment

I am wondering when and why i would use the rescue environment function? I tried it and realize it is special and would take an extremely long time to finish. Thank you

Hello Salsaguy,

Rescue Environment is a Bitdefender feature that allows you to scan and disinfect all existing hard drive partitions inside and outside of your operating system.  Once Bitdefender Total Security is installed on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 and the Bitdefender Rescue Mode Image file downloaded, Rescue Mode can be used even if you are no longer able to boot into Windows.

In Windows 10, Bitdefender Rescue Environment is integrated with Windows RE, meaning there is no need to download any Rescue Mode Image on this operating system, and the feature cannot be used if there are startup problems.
