BART

I missed this announcement somehow:
Avast released BART (see http://www.avast.com/bart.htm) Bootable Antivirus & Recovery Tools CD

They will probably not mind me quoting form their website:

The main and most important component of BART CD is a special version of avast! 4 antivirus. It is built on exactly the same kernel as other avast! 4 Editions, which ensures excellent detection capabilities combined with high performance. It detects 100% of ITW viruses/worms (In-The-Wild, i.e. the ones you are likely to meet), it also features advanced Trojan horse detection. The kernel of avast! antivirus has been certified by ICSA Labs. avast! also takes part in Virus Bulletin test, having received the VB100 award many times.

A very important point is updates (especially of the virus database). The BART system works in the following way: the Builder part works on your Windows operating system (any version). It downloads the most recent versions of BART CD components (Internet connection is required). The builder then creates an ISO image which the user has to burn on a CD, using his CD recorder (ISO images are standard input files in most of the CD burning software today). Since the virus database updates are rather frequent, it is recommended to use a CD-RW medium.

Bart also contains disk and registry checker and more tooling.
