virus scanning LiveCDs
Here’s a list of bootable Linux LiveCDs that will scan a Windows partition for viruses:
- OpenDiagnostics LiveCD (ClamAV on Ubuntu, previously ClamAV LiveCD)
- Kaspersky Rescue Disk (Kaspersky on ???)
- F-Secure RescueCD (F-Secure on Knoppix)
- Dr.Web LiveCD (Dr.Web on OpenBox-based Linux)
- S-T-D (hundreds of tools -including ClamAV- on Knoppix, used to be Knoppix-STD)
- Avira Antivir Rescue System (Avira on ???)
- SystemRescueCD (ClamAV on ???)
- Slax (ClamAV on ???)
And here are a few older, discontinued ones:
- LinuxDefender (BitDefender on Knoppix)
- ClamAV LiveCD (ClamAV on Ubuntu, renamed to OpenDiagnostics)
- Trinity Rescue Kit (used to be AVG-based, but that was broken, so they’re switching to Avast/ClamAV/F-Prot/Vexira, but nothing yet)
