This product is an add-on to
Spyware Doctor. It will scan and clean once on it's own, but works best with a valid copy of
Spyware Doctor.
Alternate Operating System Scan is a Live CD for scanning a Windows system without having to be running Windows.
With the advancement of malware technology in recent years, and the ability of malware to hide within a running Windows system, it was determined that a solution would be required such that a Windows system could be scanned (and cleaned) without the need for the Windows operating system to be running.
The Alternate Operating System Scan is an attempt to be the solution to the above problem. It is a live CD that will detect, scan, and clean malware files and associated Windows registry keys from an infected Windows system.
The Alternate Operating System Scan is designed to be a last resort, used to get Windows back into a state in which
Spyware Doctor for Windows can do its job. Therefore, it only scans files and registry keys that are defined in the refdb database. It does not remove directories.
If AOSS detects any infected files or Windows Registry keys, a list of these is displayed. If a valid Spyware Doctor License has been found on your computer, you can then proceed to clean the Windows operating system. AOSS then removes files and Windows Registry keys resulting from malware infections. If a file cannot be removed by AOSS, it is overwritten with information about the type of malware identified within it and the filename extension is changed to '.sdf' (Spyware Doctor File).
If a valid license of
Spyware Doctor is not found, you may still clean your system once with AOSS.
Creating the Live AOSS CD
- Download the AOSS.iso file.
- Burn the AOSS.iso file to a blank CD using CD burning software that is capable of burning ISO image files to blank CDs.
Note: If required, ensure that you use the CD burning software's 'image burning' function. This is required to create a functional and bootable Live AOSS CD. Burning the AOSS.iso file itself directly to a blank CD will fail to produce a functional and bootable CD.
