[plug] Anti Virus LiveCD

[Onno Benschop]

Hi all,

Going on-site each day and needing to install AVG, AdAware and SpyBot, 
then update them, then running a full scan for each application takes 
the better part of two hours for most machines, longer if their machine 
is completely toast.

I imagine there is a better way using a Linux LiveCD of some description.

I've investigated ClamAV and I've been thinking about a Toms Boot Disk 
with the command-line versions of AVG, but it all seems pretty clunky.

I need to be able to boot the CD, use it on Win95 -> WinXP (fat, vfat & 
ntfs), be able to keep it up to date - daily if necessary, preferably so 
simple to use that I could mail it out to a distant client and have them 
run the software.

Also, while I'm at it, can someone please explain why there is a need to 
separate out scanners for Trojan Horses, Ad-Ware and Virus infestations, 
because I completely fail to understand why it would be that these 
things are different from each other in any way.


/me keeps fingers crossed for some help and hints...
