Linux Virus Removal

No the subject is not an oxymoron. As part of my very low earning part time job, I fix other people's Windoze boxes. Occasionally I get one in that is so full of virii and spy-ware that it won't boot even into safe mode. There are several ways to remove viruses from a non-bootable box.
1. You can take out the hard drive and slave it to another computer.
2. You can download BartPE and make a bootable windoze CD. BartPE has a Mcafee plugin that you can add to the iso, as well as a standalone called Stinger.
3. YOU CAN USE LINUX! Yes ladies and gents there is a flavor of Knoppix I found called LinuxDefender it comes with BitDefender an anti-virus software. Even better yet, LinuxDefender comes with NTFS write support so not only can you find the pesky virii but you can fix them! You can even update the virus definitions online. So far I have only run it on my XP Pro partition of my home computer, which had no virii, but I will update this this coming week as I use it on all those buggy student computers. Happy Hunting.
