There are numerous boot cds containing antivirus/spyware utilities,based on BartPE and Linux.

Ultimate Boot cd for Windows requires a bit of effort to create,but it’s free and full instructions are available on the site.It contains various scanners along with many other useful tools for system repair.For those that like a familiar Windows interface it’s probably the best option.

As far as I am aware, there aren’t any other boot-time virus scanners, not in the regular free ones anyway or any of the mainstream antiviruses and certainly not any others compatible with modern machines. I think there was an old escan antivirus that might have done boot scanning of viruses but if they’re not even in the av-comparatives or Virus Bulletin List then they aren’t reputable.

If you’re looking at a standalone scanner similar to the Avast one then there aren’t any that are free (legitimately anyway).I think that you can get a ClamAV boot disk but it isn’t the most effective of scanners.

Yes Avast is a very capable antivirus scanner.I didn’t realise they offered the Bart cd as a trial,I wonder how the trial status is enforced :THNK
