Virus checker on the live CD?

A friend of mine (who is also part of the crew at a LAN party) had a
suggestion:   Why not make it _really easy_ to boot the live CD and
then scan your system for viruses (using the clamav engine and some
clicky-friendly GUI) and optionally remove them?

For computer parties where a lot of people who have never been exposed
to Linux attend, this is a great way to get them to at least boot the
live cd and hopefully play around with it a bit.
