The main problem with rescue discs is they are complicated to use if you don't know what you are doing you may cause more damage then what is already done. If a system is highly infected it is always best to backup user files and reinstall Windows, it is the only sure way that you know that the system is 100% clean from infections not detected.

Thanks. :D

I needed one one of these, but which is the best?

Kaspersky and Avira

Alternative: BartPE or UBCD and an updated portable AV (Avira Antivir 13. Haven't updraded to the latest yet). No Boot CD, try Avast Boot Scan
