What is the best dos based Antivirus Scanner?

What is the best boot disk virus scanner?

I will need to work with a firend's computer that won't let anything be done in windows and I just wanted to take a shot at fixing it by using a dos based boot disk or something that can scan and remove viruses outside windows. With that, any recommendations?

Probably the one from F-Prot which is also free.

you could also try mcafee's command line scanner.

 

Dr.Web has a command line scanner http://download.drweb.com/cl/?lng=en

 

does teh computer use NTFS? if so, DOS scanners wont work.

for NTFS systems u can try a bartpe disc with the KAV plugin. the mcafee commandline scanner is also available as a plugin. and nod32 too.

 

Yeah I was misleading. I meant a boot disk that has somekind of virus scanner and can actually remove the viruses.
