my network at home is mixed, windows & linux together and i had some trouble with viruses et al, some of them were really stubborn

. While working on sanitizing , new idea was born: Linux Antivirus LiveCD. DamnSallLinux. BitDefender provides a linux/freebsd version of their antivirus software, wich found very functional. Examples:
- AVG : sees the infected file, cannot clean, cannot delete
- Kaspersky : sees nothing, does nothing
- BitDefender win32 : sees the infected file, cannot clean, cannot delete
- BitDefender linux : sees infected file, cleans it, deletes it, moves it to carantine, depending on your option.Good boy.
So, why not build an Antivirus LiveCD? Or including BitDefender(or any other av software) on DSL?
...any opinion? :angry:

how about a poll?

Been there, done that.

There exists a 50MB antivirus livecd, which is somewhat based on ideas originated by the DSL livecd.

It is called INSERT.

You can get it here:

I am just curious, is there any antivirus programs that are dsl extensions in the repository? I realize that there is probably not a high demand for it but I didnt see any and this thread just made me wonder.
