Create AVG Rescue Disk

Hello.  I would like to create an AVG Rescue Disk on CD for Windows10.  Can I have the link please?  Is it necessary to update this Rescue Disk regularly?  Can I use this same disk on another computer which is running also Windows10?  Thanks.

Hello Kathleen,
Please be informed that AVG Rescue CD can be used to recover computers that are not able to boot or are infected in a way that will not allow normal operation. The whole CD or USB flash drive is a live CD with Linux operating system and AVG preinstalled on it.
To use the AVG Rescue CD, please follow the steps mentioned in this article ( http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-use-AVG-Rescue-CD ).
Thank you.

Everyone who sees this, please start with this link to find a site that actually wants to help us. I don't understand why AVG repeatedly refuses to supply this or a similar link. BTW, please choose any antivirus except AVG.  Other sites, (NOT AVG) even have videos showing how to create your bootable recovery disk.

I just wasted 1/2 hour trying to find how to create the AVG rescue CD and now am so disgusted with them that I am going to change to anything other than them.
I used the link provided to Kathleen, and there is nothing useful there. I also do need to create a bootable recovery disk.
I read your forum where you stated repeatedly that you do not advise it's use.  
You also stated to one who is in the industry for 5 years, and stated that he uses one all the time, that you "know your product" best as you are the creator.  
How ridiculous.  You repeatedly refused to provide the answers required. 
Even Kathleen's question is not answered by you. 
I also need a recovery disk now for personal use.  It is vital.  It is not any of your business why.  
I am sure you are smart enough to guess the only answer as to why any of us would need one. 
Since you do not share your information, and I need a recovery disk right now, I will quit wasting my time with you.  As a student of cybertechnology, I will now, and forever, tell all my future clients, students, and friends to NOT WASTE THEIR TIME WITH AVG.

Hi Jacqueline,

We're afraid as the AVG Rescue disc isn't available currently, as we've stopped the distribution earlier. 
Instead, you can try running a boot time scan if you suspect threats on your computer. For further queries, write back to us in your own post. 
Thank you for your understanding in advance!
