[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 749987, member: 37647"] Just trying to understand what happened there: hiren's boot CD is a live CD, right? So that means when Hiren's is running, Windows is not running. So now, let's say there was malware on the Hiren's CD. None of your Windows based security software, such as BD and VS, will be able to protect you at that point in time, because they are not running. The most your security softs can do is a static scan. And if VirusTotal says it's clean, they will probably say the same, in a static scan. Please correct me if I am misunderstanding something. :) [/QUOTE]
