Security Rescue Stick
I have been a loyal customer of Bitdefender for a long time and have recommended their product to many of my friends who also love it!
My idea I would like to suggest to the company is to make a rescue stick (Flash Drive) kind of like the "FixMeStick" that you can run at boot Using the 1yr, 2yr or 3yr plans at a reasonable price and maybe a lifetime license included.
I personally would love to buy one to have on hand for emergencies especially when I clean others PCs from malware and viruses

Earlier bitdefender used to have rescue disk available for which one could download an iso format file from bitdefender website and either create a bootable cd/dvd or create a bootable flash drive. Then, with the growing time and advancement in technology bitdefender discontinued the rescue disk.

Which unfortunately (in my opinion) is a shame 😕
Such disks in image format (.iso) are very useful in cases where it is not possible to boot the machine.
In addition, competitors such as Kaspersky and ESET still keep their iso images active.

ESET, Dr.Web, Avira, Trend Micro, Avast & Kaspersky still have the rescue disk. But at the end it is totally up to the developers what they feel like is better.

Yes, of course.
As I mentioned, in specific cases for example (a serious infection) it's something that can help.
Obviously, development teams have to evaluate the cost/benefit.

I wish they still continued the download version of the ISO. I would keep that as my emergency disk but I can understand the costs and benefits of keeping the ISO updated and the definitions for it
