My brother just called me with some symptoms that sound an awful lot like
his windows machine has a virus.
What are some of your favorite bootable-CD distros for seeing what's on there?
I used to like Helix, since it had a bunch of tools packaged up nicely:

But it hasn't been updated in over a year (and the ISO image for the latest
version is 701MB, which won't quite fit on a CD...).
Requirements are that it's a bootable live system, and can at least run
clamav with no fuss (preferably in a way that doesn't involve the command
line and isn't a 10-step process). Not needing internet access is a
nice-to-have. I don't want to have to walk him through anything too
complicated over the phone for a bunch of reasons, not the least of which is
his crappy cell-phone reception in his house (coupled with a lack of a
land-line).
Thanks,
Matt
