Looking for a decent *free* Linux LiveCD


Recommended Posts

my windows PC is narked, but i cant loose the data.

Im ideally looking for a decent LiveCD which I can boot from and scan my hard disks for virus/spyware.

I've looked at Linuxdefender but of the mirrors appear to be down.

Does anyone have any recommendations? It needs to be all on one CD, I burn the CD, boot off it, and scan.

I dont want to be messing around with BartPE and creating disks etc.

thanks,

Edit: Ignore me. Just realised the torrent links were down too. There are other torrent links on other sites that you could search for, I don't know how popular the torrents would be though.

Edit #2: This blog post looks quite handy; it explains how you can use Knoppix and ClamAV to run virus scans from the live cd.

If you already have a Linux LiveCD running, even existing providers you may already use, like Avast, have Linux executables and can be used to do a scan.
