PC Tools ISO Burner2012 1.0

PC Tools ISO Burner is a security tool designed for severe scenarios when malware has infiltrated into your computer and hijacked the antivirus software, preventing you from running scans in order to eliminate these threats and restore the stability of Windows. This application creates a bootable CD or USB disk with antivirus and antispyware software capable of bypassing these tricky cases.

No installation necessary

These is no setup pack involved, which makes PC Tools ISO Burner portable. The whole package consists of a feather-light executable file that can be saved to any location on the disk and immediately run. Unlike most installers, it does not make any modifications to the Windows registry, not create extra files on the disk, thus leaving no traces behind after removing it.

Simple-to-use interface and options

The GUI is represented by a clean window with a clear-cut structure split into two main areas, for creating bootable CDs and USB drives, respectively. All you have to do is select a USB disk or CD-ROM writer from a drop-down list, indicate the ISO image with the Windows copy using the file browser, and click a button to start the burning procedure.

Evaluation and conclusion

There were no stability issues in our tests, since PC Tools ISO Burner did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. It uses low CPU and RAM, so it does not affect the PC's overall performance. However, it failed to identify the USB disk drive in our evaluation. We must also take into account that the program has not been updated for a long while and it is likely to have compatibility issues. Users should resort to more reliable programs for removing malware from heavily infected computers.
