Dr.Web LiveCD and alternatives

[Plexx]

Has anyone tried Dr.Web LiveCD? I know it is based on a linux distro, but how is it in terms of scanning and cleaning?

Also could someone recommend me some live cds for cleaning purposes?

Thanks

I haven't tried Dr.Web, but I have tried Avira Rescure CD and Kaspersky. Both of them a great. Works quite well.

Emsisoft Emergency Kit, not really a live CD but it is portable so...

Why not use what MrXidus and some others use, SARDU or Hiren's BootCD?

I do have both, although I think SARDU is not listed in my config.

I was mainly curious and I like to keep a record and be updated.

Sometimes friends ask for tools and thats what I lend them, with the occasional situation when its handed out and never returned

Don't know about SARDU, but I always use Hiren's BootCD.

 

[Deleted member 178]

SARDU is just a live CD compiler/builder, You can put Hiren and other live CD inside it.

So you can build and put the programs that you would use the most in it?

 

[Deleted member 178]

Yes exactly, and it is able to directly download on it some of the most famous Live CD.

Hmm, well in that case that would be good because you can put what you want it.
