Rescue CD Question

Hi,

I'm trying to run a scan using a rescue cd but it will not pull down the virus definitions. It says, "could not retrieve the virus database updates". This computer has a solid internet connection so I'm not sure what the problem is. The USB key I have is 8GB and is FAT32. The computer is Windows 7 64-bit. Thank you.

Hi bgrapes,

Have you tried with the latest version of Rescue CD v3.16 build 52606?

You may test the connection by following steps too:

- Boot up from the F-Secure Rescue CD but DO NOT start the scanning after booted up.
- Switch terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 ~ F4.
- Check IP address:
# ifconfig
- Do a ping test to known DNS server, e.g. Google DNS.
# ping 8.8.8.8
- continue pinging to fsbwserver.f-secure.com
- Swith back to terminal 1 - press "Alt+F1" and start Scanning once network connections is verified to be working.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Best Regards,
Jayson
