Kaspersky Rescue Disk Updater
An article by 
Kaspersky Rescue Disk Updater is a Windows Command Script or a batch file which uses KLUpdater to update the virus definitions of the Rescue Disk ISO.
Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 can scan and remove viruses without booting into windows.The main disadvantage of Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 is that it is not updated regularly.
Even when it is updated there is no option to update your existing iso with the changes.You will have to download the entire iso. So if you don’t download the rescue disk regularly, the virus definitions become out of date.
Even though the rescue disk has an option to update the virus definitions from the internet, it is not very useful as the updates are saved only on that particular computer.If you use it on another computer then you will have to download all the updates again.
Kaspersky Rescue Disk Updater fixes the above problems by updating your existing Kaspersky Rescue Disk ISO with the latest virus definitions from the Kaspersky Servers.This helps in keeping your recue disk up date without having to download a lot of files, saving a lot of time and bandwidth.
Changes in the latest version
- Supports updates from Local Kaspersky Folder if you have any Kaspersky Product Installed.
- Newer version of KLUpdater.Supports downloading of diff.Saves lot of bandwidth.
- Removed pauses in script
- Fixed creation of iso
- Two iso files are generated, rescue.iso and rescueusb.iso.This can be used to boot from USB Drives
- Moved project to Github.com
Download Kaspersky Rescue Disk Updater
- Extract the downloaded zip file
- Copy kav_rescue_10.iso into the kasresupd folder.If you want to update the rescue.iso created previously using this tool ,then rename it to kav_rescue_10.iso .
- Double Click on diskupdt and it will update the virus definitions of the rescue disk.
- The updated Rescue Disk will be created as rescue.iso.Burn this iso to a CD.
- After booting the Updated Rescue Disk you can see that the in built Updater has very few updates to download.
Please post your feedback and suggestions.

Updated the tool.
I have fixed the build iso errors and included the latest version of KLUpdater.Now the tool saves bandwidth by downloading diffs.
Great script!!! A HUGE time saver. Hope you’ll make an x64 version also (soon I’ll be moving to the x64 world).
Thanks!
Thanks.
I will try to a make a x64 version soon.
nice work! thank you very much!!
can i just extract the rescueusb.iso on my usb stick? and will it boot then?
No.You can’t extract rescueusb.iso to your usb stick and expect it to boot.
Why would you want to do that?If you can tell me your objective I can try to help.
the problem is, that i want to use the rescue disk on my netbook.. so i cant use a cd.
but i did already solve it, i used a tool named “unetbootin” to convert the rescue.iso on a usb stick
so it worked now :)
