That article misses the entire point of *why* kaspersky (and everyone else -
this is a really common method for a few different tasks) do this and reads as
nonsense. It's a licensing/price issue - you can't boot off the compromised
windows install and expect anything sensible to happen of course... and why pay
for distributing a windows license when linux does the job just fine?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

> it went to Windows
In the top left corner it says: 'Press any key to enter menu'.
If you don't press the 'any' key then it indeed reverts to booting from the hard
disk.
Press a key and the menu gives options including booting to text mode or
graphics mode from CD.

Note that with a Windows 8 machine it is unlikely that the average user would be
able to work out how to turn off secure boot and boot this from CD or USB.
The only 'rescue' would be a Windows boot disk supplied with the machine, and
this may simply say: "This machine is borked, please buy a replacement
computer from your supplier."
