Rescue Bootable CD

If your computer is not bootable due to malware, what can you do? There are two solutions :
  1. Avira AntiVir Rescue System
  2. AVG Rescue CD
You can create a bootable CD from both solutions but Avira has the latest malware signatures already updated. For AVG, you can even create a bootable USB flash drive for netbook without DVD drive.

Running Windows XP Mode Without Hardware Assisted Virtualization

Microsoft has removed the need to have hardware assisted virtualization enabled in your PCs BIOS to run Windows XP mode. This means that Windows XP mode will work on all processors including netbook with Intel Atom CPU. You'll have to download Windows XP mode update (KB977206)

But, you'll require Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate. You can download Windows XP mode for free.
