    USB DRIVE

    Anyone know of a anti malware program that I can install on a usb drive and use it to scan my entire computer?

    Thanks

    Slim pickings from what I can see. Few a/v's and even fewer antimalware scanners can be run that way.

    A possible alternative would be to run the ultimate boot cd on a bootable USB drive if your computer is capable of that..

    http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

    but that would only give you two a/v programs and one malware scanner.

    Clam a/v makes a portable scanner..

    and it's generally thought of as being ok compared to other a/v programs.
    It's often used on email servers.

    Going to be tough to add more than the excellent responses you're getting over @ Wilders...
