I didnât ask if you could burn CDs-DVDs, but Iâll assume âyesâ. One thing I have started doing is collecting the âbootable anti-virus CDsâ from various vendors. Most of them can be downloaded in an ISO format, meaning âI can get my CD burner to burn that ISO, and it will create the Bootable Segment itself.â
I am not advocating or recommending any one vendor here, by the way. âYour actual mileage may varyâ should be the common excuse, because your equipment, any virus (if there is one) and the current AV-version all have factors in success or failure.
And âfailureâ may be merely âdid not detectâ, which may not mean âno virusâ but ONLY means âthis product couldnât detect itâ. So, I tend to use more than one.
AVG has one for free download.
Panda has one.
Kaspersky has one but it seems like it needs an existing Kaspersky installation first.
BLEEPING COMPUTER will have many other suggestions, too. Some of those hijacker viruses are sooo devious and evil. Best of luck, and obviously the best thing would be âno virus at allâ.
