Install Avast on USB stick

In order to fix serious virus problems with Avast, you should copy a current Avast version on a USB stick. We show you how to do it.

Install Avast on the USB stick

1. First open Avast by clicking on the yellow Avast icon under "Hidden symbols" in the task bar.
2. Then navigate to "Tools" in Avast and select "Rescue Medium".
3. Here click on "USB" and insert a USB stick into your computer.
4. Then select the drive of the USB stick. This is usually recognized automatically.
5. If you click on the "Install on USB stick" button, you still have to confirm that all existing files on the stick will be deleted. This is necessary so that you can boot your computer directly from the USB stick.
