Fsecure Rescue CD 3.11
I have yet to test the number of AntiVirus livecds I have and how useful they are as a way of removing viruses and malware (Fsecure renames virii files rather than removing them). However notably Fsecure have released a new verison of their LiveCD, which now contains a few more utlities. Needless to say I've downloaded it and it is sitting on my drive to be tested at some point.
The new tools included on the disk are:-
PhotoRec is a tool that can be used to recover data that has been accidentally deleted or lost due to a corrupted file system on a disk.
TestDisk is another data recovery tool that can be used to recover a lost partition, for example.
smartmontools contain utilities that can be used to inspect S.M.A.R.T. values of hard disks. By analyzing these numbers you may get a hint if your hard disk is starting to show signs of breaking down
