1 edit | Public AntiVirus CD 3.65 Available for Download I am making publicly available my bootable AntiVirus CD. I basically made it because I wanted to be able to scan for viral infection without loading Windows (at least for now)
Also, I posted to the Security Forum; if my cross post violates any rules, please let me know - I don't want to violate any TOS, etc - thanks!
Currently at version 3.65, here are some of the attributes:
1) Bootable CD boots into DOS (using a modified Win9x floppy emulation) and can mount and scan NTFS formatted drives
2) Runs McAfee's freely available command line scanner; this scanner will scan and log viral infections, trojans and some spyware. It will attempt to clean, then rename or delete the infected files. It will create both a text and HTML file that you can view afterwards
3) Menu driven and automated; works on approximately 98% of all PC's (some older computers do not like the XMSDISK Ram Drive being used)
4) AVCD is in ISO format, so you can burn using Roxio or Nero; it has been compressed into zip format (roughly 97megs in size)
5) After scan is complete, CD will autoeject and reboot system; it is recommended that you enter Safe Mode (on Win2K or XP machines) in order to install and run Spyware programs like SpyBot and Ad-Aware
- NOTE: As far as I have seen, Win9x does not support CD-ROM's in safe mode
6) Within Windows, AVCD will autorun and load an index.htm file, allowing you to click and install Anti-Spyware programs, review the log files (both text and HTML formats) and run Symantec FixTools for various viral infections
Usually, I will have an FTP server running at the following address:
nyquil-kid.dyndns.org
username: public
password: 8fj00su
Please note the following:
1) I am not a programmer, so please forgive any messy batch code
2) The FTP server is online most of the day, but not always - feel free to email at nyquil_kid@hotmail.com or PM me
3) The FTP account only allows for read access on that file, so please don't try to HAX0R'Z my system 
4) I am constantly updating the AVCD, so look for updates
5) While I employ this CD daily on many machines, I am *NOT* responsible for what happens to your system!
Thanks!

Brick, NJ | Made an adjustment to the AVCD:
1) CD will autoeject and pause to allow the user to remove the CD before rebooting the computer
2) Fixed typo in one of the display messages

Some feedback for you.
I booted the CD on my win2k system and it worked pretty good.
However, when I took it to my friends house, and booted it on his system, when it got to the point where it was trying to create the ramdrive, it failed.
I tried it like 3 times and the same problem came up each time.
Interestingly enough, however, if I ran the command to create the ramdrive manually it worked. So I deleted the ramdrive and then just re-executed the autoexec.bat file without rebooting and it worked after that.
I think that maybe it might have something to do with the loadhigh statement. Is there a specific reason why you wanted it to be loaded into upper memory? The guy has 384mb of ram, but it just wouldn't work without this manual intervention I did.

1 edit | No not sure; glad that it worked manually, but for some reason some computers don't like the XMSDisk RAM Drive I run....
Why do you think its the loadhigh statement? Is there any reason I shouldn't load it there?
EDIT: As a test, I removed the loadhigh and used load; the RAM drive failed; it appears to require the loadhigh command - I'll keep looking into for you.
Thanks!

Hi there:
The XMSDSK driver can be loaded into autoexec.bat or config.sys; from what I know, if you load in config.sys, it will grab the first letter for itself ( C: ); I prefer to statically assign the letter for the RAM drive, R:, so that it is easy to remember.
If I attempt to load xmsdsk without the loadhigh statement, the RAMDisk fails.
I will be looking at other RAMDisks just in case, but roughly 98% of computers work fine with the CD as is.
Thanks again for the heads up.
