I would suggest Damn Small Linux (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/) which will boot from CD or USB stick, can mount Windows volumes, and be used to rescue sick Windows systems. What I don't know offhand is whether or not it ships with ClamAV in the default configuration -- but I do know that it's possible to customize that configuration to include whatever tools you wish (and will fit on the media you have). See also: Emergency Booting Windows PCs: Another Use for Linux http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/knoppix.shtml There are other similar articles floating around the intertubes; try something like "rescue windows with linux" in your favorite search engine. ---Rsk
