5.7.5.1 Using ESET SysRescue
Suppose that computers in the network have been infected by a virus which modifies executable (.exe) files. ESET
Security solution is capable of cleaning all infected files except for explorer.exe, which cannot be cleaned, even in
Safe mode. This is because explorer.exe, as one of the essential Windows processes, is launched in Safe mode as
well. ESET Security solution would not be able to perform any action with the file and it would remain infected.
In this type of scenario, you could use ESET SysRescue to solve the problem. ESET SysRescue does not require any
component of the host operating system, and is therefore capable of processing (cleaning, deleting) any file on the
disk.
