Which Virus and Spyware Scanners can be Run Directly From a CD?

[OVERKILL]

I know that the Ultimate Boot CD can but does anyone know of any others?

Thanks ahead.

Strictly for the record: McAfee CleanBoot. It generates bootable scanning CDs with up-to-date DATs (virus definitions).

If you want to be able to run antipyware/antivirus without loading anything, www.pctools.com has a version of antispyware/antivirus that runs strictly in the browser. Its very handy.

It was hard to find the download. Macfee stopped supporting I think.
Anyway, I finally founf the program but Ican't get it to update.

I went to the site and was unable to find the program.
Which program is the one that can be run in the browser?

It's part of my employer's Active VirusScan grant, so I'm not surprised if it's hard to find without a grant. That's why I said "strictly for the record," because it's not something that's available to just anyone. 🙁 It does work, though.
