I forgot to add that VARD can be downloaded as a.ISO image or a 4 diskette set. You'll need to run the SFX diskette tool on a Windows box to create the diskettes because we use WinZip to create the SFX application but after that it will act just like the CD-ROM version. I prefer the CD-ROM version myself and give my friends a wallet size "card disk" for there field trouble shooting. It fits nicely in shirt pockets:-)
I work for Central Command the company that produces Vexira Antivirus so be careful you might find a few biased statements here:-)
We have Vexira Antivirus Rescue Disk (VARD) which is a bootable CD-ROM and diskette virus scanner that runs entirely in RAM. It's based on a debian micro kernel and includes a easy to follow menu. It can update the latest virus database and virus scanning engine also! Yes, even if you are using the CD-ROM version. You just need to download updates onto a floppy and select the update option on the main menu. VARD will pull them into RAM.
It will boot and mount most any file system: Microsoft FAT 16, FAT 32, VFAT, NTFS, Linux ext2, ReiserFS and UMSDOS, IBM OS/2 HPFS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and Unix UFS, CD-ROM ISO9660, Minix, FreeVxFS, Veritas VxFS, System V, Xenix, V7, and UDF.

The VARD is free BTW.
