[ubuntu-uk] OT Linux based anti virus cds

[David King, linux user]

I have downloaded and used proprietory anti virus from well known AV companies, e.g. Avira. It was based on linux but was not customisable and intended to disinfect Windows PCs.

Hi
I am looking into LInux based anti virus cd's  and found the following site

http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-av-cd.html

just wondered if anyone had an experience in this area and perhaps some
suggestions.

I would assume cd's being read only makes them more immune from the type
of virius that may try and infect a flash drive type device that are
generally read / write.

Basically looking for something like the system rescue cd, but for anti
virus.

This may benefit others here too,   esp those with friends who use
Windows but also complain of getting viruses.

Paul
