RE[2]: Needs a LiveCD Option

That's no need for a live CD. When AV finds a nasty virus, it can reboot the OS in safe mode, without loading start-up programs, services, etc.

Wow, you've obviously never encountered a truly nasty infection.

Offline scan is the most assured way to find/remove rootkits, etc.

Even then, once a machine is infected, it's often impossible to know if it's clean, you just pray that the 3 or 4 different AV programs you used found everything (often times, one will miss something that the other finds).
