How to Make a Bootable Antivirus Cd
How to Make a Bootable Antivirus Disc
Purpose of this document.
This document will teach you how to make a bootable anti-malware ( bootable antivirus ) cd/dvd step-by-step.
Why Bootable Antivirus?
In a bootable environment we are running a stripped down version of windows in a ram disk (programs are loaded directly into ram), thus the hard drive on the PC is treated as attached storage (like a flash drive). In this state malware (malware consists of viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, rootkits, etc) is helpless and totally at your mercy. This is the best free way to remove any piece of malware with a 100% success rate.
Steps:
Please follow all the steps below:
1. Go to http://ubcd4win.com/downloads.htm
2. Select a mirror with a green status. (like “Mirror#3″ for example)
3. When you click on the mirror it will take you to another site where the download will be available.
4. Click the download link for Ultimate Boot CD and save the download to wherever you download stuff.
5. Once the installer has been downloaded double click it.
6. Choose your language
7. Click next about 3 more times and select the file path where you would like to install ultimate boot cd 4 win. Please note that you should have a drive with at least 5-10 gb of free space to allow for future plugin growth. I will choose C:UBCD4Win. The install should take a few minutes.
8. Click Yes to the MD5 Hash Check. The install will continue once the hash check succeeds.
9. Click Yes to see if a patch file exists.
10. Click the checkbox to launch ubcd4winbuilder.exe.
11. Click the “i agree” button.
12. Click “NO” to searching for windows files.
13. Obtain a windows xp operating system disc w/SP2.
14. Explore the disc and copy the entire content (all the folders and files on the windows xp cd) to any location on your computer. You should allocate at least 700 MB of free space for the windows xp disc.
15. Open UBCD4win (if it’s not already open). Click Source browse button (3 dots …) and browse to your i386 folder. My path was C:WindowsXPcd for example.
16. Next go to the media output section and choose a spot for your ISO image to be created. This ISO can be burned with almost any burning software. Once the ISO is burned it will be bootable.
17. Next, click the plugins button. Don’t be too overwhelmed here, actually you should be very happy! Look at all those plugins!
18. Now it’s time to update our anti-malware software packages.
19. The first one I have on my list is a-squared free anti-spyware. Click that line and then click the config button. A command prompt will automatically open and start downloading the latest updates for that program…totally awesome, isn’t it!
20. So, now you need to update all the anti-malware programs in our plugin list. Click each one and then hit the config button.
21. After you’re done configing/updating your plugins click the close button.
22. Next, click Build.
23. Click yes to create a directory and then click i agree.
24. At this point your ISO is created and is ready to be burned.
This concludes the How to Make a Bootable Antivirus CD tutorial.

i’m using avast home edition . The new version has been released on their website. It s a freeware. You can register yourself on the avast website to recive the registration key . They provide timely updates (small in size, ie. In kb’s. Which s usefull for people with limited internet plans ). It s fully legal n it generates a virus recovery database to report avast about the new viruses .
To detect n delete malwares on your comp use malware bytes . Another free software . N a powerfull tool to clean your comp of malwares. I use these softwares myself .

Norton Internet Security 2010 Netbook Edition Upgrade – Symantec …
http://shop.symantecstore.com/DRHM/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayProductDetailsPage&SiteID=symnahho&Locale=en_US&Env=BASE&productID=151412900&resid=lwSHxwoBAkYAAEkr@p8AAAA0&rests=1258943342167
That is actually the website URL – or simply type into a search engine “Norton optimized for netbook”.
You are probably next going to go into what are the limitations of Netbooks and why. Simple…. DON’T try and use them like desktops and DON”T install heavy software programs such as Audacity full needing at least 2 Gigs RAM to run.
Netbooks are NOT laptops. They are NOT Notebooks. They are NOT Desktops. They are designed for light browsing and light communications and light software installations in system requirements and amonut you install. DO NOT install all kinds of software. You have been warned !
I have two of them. They work fine for light trafficking ONLY as they are advertised.
GOOD TIP:….. yes it is healthy to be very scared to start installing all kinds of softwares. Don’t Do It ! Now Symantec Norton Antivirus has notoriously historically been crank yanked for being a “road hog” on system resorces. SO, if Norton runs (had the free 30 day trials of it on mine) on the Netbook the idea is you don’t have to be that scared to try softwares with a Netbook. Be very very very careful and check System Requirements as far as PROCESSORS !!!! The processor in Netbooks just do not have the beef to run software programs like a desktop or laptop or even a Notebook. Stay AWAY from continual multi-tasking !!!! Stay easy and light on your Netbook and it will serve you a long time.
For podcasts and so on I recommend you get Firefox and add the plug ins. In comparison, if you were to attempt to install like RSSReader for your RSS feeds – it is a full blown independent browers that downloads RSS feeds and uses the .NetFrameworks in Windows. THESE types are what I mean as good example. DON”T try to install large softwares or it will destroy the Netbook. You have been warned.
If you are not on broadband or wi-fi I suggest you get a side drive with CD Drawer to install softwares with the Netbook (plug and play detachable) rather than endlessly downloading on a dial up connection.
food for thought while we were here from experience !
happy hunting !
PS…. My point was to picture Norton (if you have had experience) picture Norton Antivirus as the biggest thing you want to install. Again ALWAYS check “System Requirements” fopr softwares like if they need even dual core processors to run something, Pentium, Intel etc. You probably have the Atom Processor. Their great and limited. Don’t blow it up !!!
RECOMMENDATIONS…
I have used Norton, Webroot Spysweeper with Sophos Antivirus, and the Emsi A-Squared Antimalware programs. These ARE the top protection products on the market and ALL run just fine on Netbooks. Take your pick and happy hunting ! (Emsi has 30 day free trial – recommended strongly – lightest of the three tops. Emsi of course has the A-Squared antispyware with Ikarus Antivrus with currently about 3.3 million removal defintions !!!! One of the three best)
Winavm antivirs is the best antivirus for a notebook .
BitDefender is very good. Each antivirus developer says that their antivirus is the best, so you should decide who is the best by yourself.
You can search for coupon codes for antivirus you want to buy. For example, you can find discount for BitDefender 2010 here:
