Hello Alan,
Rescue CD is not being developed nor maintained for some time and that's why we didn't recommended it to our users. Let us know how you have identified that infection and share the screenshot http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=Create-screenshot of it to have better understanding.
I have got a stubborn malware infection so I created AVG Rescue bootable USB. It got virus definitions from 2016.
1) Can please someone at AVG to update it to 2018 definitions?
2) I'm trying to update it and it downloads two files: Icore something and the virus database. Then it halts in the middle saying "General error" while trying to apply the Icore something update. I don't need the Icore update, I just need to update the virus database.
What can I do? I also tried to download the virus database and updating it offline, and I'm still getting the "General error".
