Why do you prefer DrWeb CureIt CD as your first primary boot time scanner instead of kaspesrky';s avast or avira's?
Umbra pretty much

Don't try to compare which one is better or faster or more advanced, test them all and then just use the one than it is easier for you to use.
Why do I prefer it? DrWeb (CD Version) has earned a great reputation with me (mainly against heavy infections / the tough rootkits, worms, bootkits). I've used it countless times in the past to cure badly infected PC's, At first I did use Avira, Kaspersky CD first long before I even tried DrWeb, But while Avira, Kaspersky did help with the minor, regular infections, They did not manage to get rid of the very nasty rootkit/bootkits that many of the infected PC's had, My last resort at the time was DrWeb, Little to say it found the infection that was stopping the infected PC's from booting into the desktop and managed to cure it completely. From there on I continued to use DrWeb and it continued to work wonders for me, Now I always use it first before I use Kaspersky Rescue CD.
As for Avira Rescue CD, I stopped using it - to be honest it wasn't really doing me any good. Like I said once DrWeb gets rid of the nasty stuff which allows me to boot back into Windows, I'll use Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro, Emsisoft Rescue Kit to clean off any of the small left overs. And Avast's CD? Never tried it I don't think because it's not free. Has that changed at all? Avast BART CD I think it was called at the time.
