live cd with antivirus, trojan remover, etc


I would like to know what live cds r for rescue purposes such as FIRE that has antivirus. I would like to have one cuz i often have to remove trojans and viruses on windows partitions and it would be much easyer to use a live cd with proper tools.

check out INSERT linux on sourceforge... also.. I have a disc... that's absed on linux.. but i haven't a clue where to download it..

But it's essentially a "rescue" disc.. It can erase/rewrite windows passwords for NT/2000/XP/2003 and also edit the registry, and other things as well... I've only ever used it for erasing passwords.... WORKS LIKE A CHARM!! very handy!
