I second UBCD4Win...just had to use it this week to clean a really nasty virus+trojan+rootkit (yes it was all three!) off a machine. UBCD4Win lets you boot a stripped down build of XP from CDROM, and includes a bunch of handy tools including antivirus/antispyware that can be updated from the internet (updates ramdisk) to get the latest signature files.

UBCD4Win is my current favorite.

hey guys, I know that if you get a virus in M$ the best thing to do is to reinstall the system. Would the next best thing be to install a copy of clamwin into their computer.?
