Hello @deanabiepepler
That is done directly through the app, as the rescue disk was discontinued in 2020.
Did you want to run a trial of Bitdefender and play to your heart's content for 30 days, to see what it offers?
Kind Regards,
Scott

MY PC systematically crashes when performing a FULL system scan.
I then started a "Rescue Environment" scan. The PC rebooted, all went well, nothing was found. The scan is definitely a LIGHT one as it does nto last long.
the issue is that I am quite sure that the PC is infected! so HOW DO I RUN A FULL SCAN before booting into Windows 10? (like in the old days with the rescue CD)
It is a real nuisance that no obvious solution for the normal user is available !!
In the meantime, I had to deinstall BitDefender and launched the Windows antivirus, it lasted 2 days and it didn't find anything.
What shall I do now?

@jeffy ,
Welcome to the Bitdefender Forums. The real issue, I believe, is the following:
MY PC systematically crashes when performing a FULL system scan.My first course of action would be to determine why your PC is crashing when performing a Full System Scan. It should not.
A repair installation and reboot might solve that issue.
If that does not work, I would contact Bitdefender Support.
Chat is the fastest way to reach them. Telephone support is not toll-free, but you also have an email option.
Please post back with your results, so that your knowledge can be shared with other members.
Thank you, and have a great day.
Regards,
Phil

It is a shame that there is no longer a bootable rescue disk. This approach was useful, especially when you suspect that a PC may have been compromised. Booting into an environment without windows, where all the resources were dedicated to threat detection and removal, made a lot of sense and if the final report was the the system was safe, it was somehow more believable. These days, with the buggy bitdefender UI, which often does not even show up in the system tray, confidence in the "You are safe" message is very low indeed and I am always double or triple checking using other tools. Gone are the days of trust, even in bitdefender.

Kindly check the link stated below.
Bitdefender discontinued its Rescue CD and other features in July 2020 because the company is constantly developing its products and technologies to keep up with evolving platform.
Bitdefender's Rescue Environment ( ) feature is an alternative to the Rescue CD that allows users to scan and remove threats that can't be eliminated while the operating system is running. The Rescue Environment boots the system into a minimal environment that bypasses potentially infected processes and files.
That being said, many antimalware programs are slowly discontinuing their rescue disks, with ESET already having done so. Avast and AVG have also removed direct availability of rescue disks; now, they include an option in their standalone products to create a rescue CD.

Hello Flexx
Thank you for taking the time to respond, when no response was expected.
From what I can gather, the rescue environment puts one entirely at the mercy of bitdefender and leave no room for human intervention; the feature is not accessible unless bitdefender detects an infection. If this were an environment that the User could choose to launch, it would indeed be a replacement for the rescue CD. My confidence in bitdefender is not sufficient to rely on this feature only being exposed if an infection has been detected.
Once upon a time, sadly years ago now, I would recommend bitdefender to colleagues, Family and Friends. However, in more recent times, all have come back with negative comments about the tool and I am not alone being unable to trust in the effectiveness of bitdefender.
Kind regards
Dominic

Rescue disk was indeed deprecated years ago. I was not involved in rescue disk, but let me ask and as soon as I have updates I will post here.

Update: rescue disk is EOL for a long time and has not been maintained since. Unfortunately, we cannot offer a download link for an old an unmaintained product.
