Reynaldo Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I'm thinking to login on a arch based distribution, updated repositories and then download clamav and do a full scan but.. is there a distro already avaible for this? i saw bitdefender rescue, i heard its based on xubuntu.. any input is appreciated.

goretsky Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hello, Most anti-malware vendors offer a LiveCD to do this. You might want to check out the Trinity Rescue Kit, which incorporate five different anti-malware programs onto one CD.

Guest LilBambi Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) I use Trinity Rescue Kit. I also am downloading Hiren's BootCD (Direct Download link - I got from WindowsSecrets Newsletter - It's hard to find the download link on their website.)

arochester Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I have successfully used Kaspersky which is based in Gentoo. I first read this site: http://foss-boss.blogspot.co.uk/2009/05/killing-virii-with-gentoo-and-kaspersky.html The site is now a bit old and I think the most recent disk is #10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LilBambi Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Have fun! NOTE: Trinity also allows you to empty all the caches on the system which is often where malware hides. And all of them have some command line tools so you can look for files so you can play the game in Application Data or AppData and other locations. It's called "Which one of these things doesn't belong." And you better have another computer near by to do some live research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

securitybreach Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Very nice list everyone but I do not think the Kaspersky one is still being developed as the server doesn't show a newer version that the one released in 2009: http://devbuilds.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/RescueDisk/ http://devbuilds.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynaldo Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Just in case anyone wondering, one creative try was using any distribution and downloading clamav on the live environment, atm trying with elementary OS and gotta say... WOW this looks beautifull Screenshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ichase Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Temmu said pretty much what I was going to say. I still use Kaspersky; has been my go to for years. I guess they just figured the software as it has been since 09 works good enough and pulls all current virus definitions. Fran, you mentioned Hiron's Boot CD, I ALWAYS keep a current version of that on CD and on a USB thumb drive. I use it ALL the time when I am brought laptops to load and ALAS......They don't know the password to get into it, or the one they give me is wrong. I even managed to get someone out on the ship to download it and walked them through via email and A LOT of screenshots (Another nice thing about VM's and booting live media to get screenies ) and got their laptop unlocked after 3 failed attempts rendered the laptop locked out . Just saying, seems when Windows is sick..........It's normally "LINUX" that ends up healing it..... Just sayin' But, Eric's Nuke it into Orbit has been pretty successful as well not to mention, sometimes MUCH less of a headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goretsky Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hello, You may also wish to try ESET SysRescue Live, a new¹ Linux² live CD/USB.

Guest LilBambi Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Awesome, Aryeh! Snagging right now! Yea! At least it is less than 400MB much better than some! Thank you ESET!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hello, The previous version was based on WinPE and required every user to download a copy of WAIK in order to make it (1.3GB download), so this is seen as being a lot lighter. Plus, it has some additional utilities on it as well (which I'm hoping will update/increase in the future). Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Awesome, Aryeh! Snagging right now! Yea! At least it is less than 400MB much better than some! Thank you ESET!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
