Boot from thumbdrive or cdrom and scan?

2009-06-13T19:23:49Z

I think boot from thumbdrive or cdrom before scanning, would be a
good idea, if it could be done.

1) No worries about malware starting during bootup.

2) Bootup could be faster.

3) You would not have to install/update spybot, or whatever, since it
would already be on the thumbdrive.

Does this make sense? Can this be easily done? What OS would be best

If you own a computer, you must have antispyware to keep it running at
its best. The problem is choosing a scan that works. I have tried many
different types of scans in the past and then I ran across Search-and-
destroy Antispyware. I have to say that the antispyware solution from
Search-and-destroy is the best that I have used to date. It gets the
