Thanks for the updater.
I still use windows primarily, but I fire up any of my several Linux live CDs on a regular basis to perform certain
tasks.
They are like handy little swiss pocket knives. I have Kaspersky Antivirus in a Linux bootable CD. It goes out and
updates the virus signaures too, before it scans.
It has saved me from rootkits a few times.
Sometimes it's the only way to save data from a windows box without physically pulling the hard drive.We had a guy at work a while back, who's laptop was well and truely toasted. Wouldn't boot 'safe mode', or from media. It looked like he was going to lose a lot of stuff until we popped in a live Linux CD, and was able to scp all his data to another box.
