Bootable Antivirus CD

[stoofa]

I'm looking for a free bootable antivirus CD.
We've got a couple of laptops that we think have become infected.
We'd like to simply boot from a CD and allow that to run a full scan.

Are there any free ones out there?

Hiren's BootCD I think is free and includes numerous anti-virus tools

Remember the days when a boot disk contained all the startup files, executables, and virus definitions on a 1.44MB floppy? Yet they still took 40 minutes or better to do a full scan of a 130MB HDD.

Ultimate Boot CD for Windows.

Takes a while to put one together but always worth having a copy handy, and a half built one on the network.

Comes with various a/v and spyware tools and most are configured so they can update over the net to a ram drive that is created on boot so no need to worry about building a new CD each time new defs come out.

Yuk, yes I remember vividly... I recall that being the Dr Solomon's Toolkit 'Magic Bullet' Disk?
