Hi, I agree with kerry, but its also worth remembering that you can buy usb > sd / mmc adaptors which have hardware write protect switches which will solve the problem if you don't like taking stuff apart. Cheers, Ben. On 4/8/12, Zameer Mahomed <core7xx@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Janus,
Thanks much for the safety scanner as well.
Yep, I have used win7pe as well as LiveXP before.
But I wonder if removing the viruses from infected pc's is much more effective using linux based antivirus programs?
My reason for wondering is this, many of the antivirus programs make their programs for windows but, come time for removal, they resort to using their program based on a linux live environment rather than microsoft's windows PE?
On this list, people have talked about remastering distro's to include programs etc, I wonder if the same can be done for those already made antivirus live disks as well.
Also, do you think its worth it to use these win7PE and LiveXP when windows 8 will come out? I find whilst using these PE's that one can do things that would normally not have been done in windows itself, but too many dependancies are missing for programs that would be great to use in removing of unwanted things.

Dear sir, I Am recommending You to download The Microsoft Safety Scanner This excellent antivirus tool from Microsoft is containing The same amount
of virus signatures like Microsoft security essentials. This tool is designed to run portably from PE environment and is not in conflict with other antivirus or antimalvaree tools. This program will work only 10 days, after 10 days till download date, You
will have to download it again free of charge. It is protection mechanishm
of Microsoft to allow users to use antivirus tool with latest virus databases. The advantage of this tool is, that it is 100 percently MSAA compatible, it is TAB and arrow keys based GUI, and program Ultra Virus Killer is not goodly accessible. Yes, NVDA can access ALL GUI elements by using The object navigation commands and if user will use those commands in The combination with INSERT+divide and numeric / It is possible to access all parts of it's GUI. But my opinion is, that Microsoft based tool will contain more virus signatures and GUI is fully accessible with screen readers without no need to use object navigation commands.
But Yours tool can be also ammazing. The 32 bit variant of this excellent Microsoft antivirus tool can be downloaded from here.
