Any reason not to just scan with the customer drive attached to a

Yes, and I do that as well as my first pass.
Imaging the system, a good preventative measure anyway, then
uninstalling the AV is another idea.
That's an idea - but I'm working on time saving measures here, so
imaging might add too much time to what I'm doing.
Safemode comes to mind though it disables so much I am not sure it's
a viable solution.
I do some scanning in safe mode, but I find it's bloody slow.
BTW, on a seperate topic, what do the guys on the list who charge for
disinfecting computers charge these days to disinfect a machine, and
about how long is taking you? I'm charging $47 and it takes about 24 hours.
