Re: Root kits ...luvly !

Thanks Leythos

I can already do that i..e. - boot to Safe Mode and copy the multi-av
directory onto a c:\drive etc.. What I was trying to do was, boot from
floppy, or bootable cd-r using Freedos such as that in NTFS4DOS, so that I'm
in an OS that definately hasn't been "hooked," and then run multi-av, or
the seperate command line scanners, (that I haven't yet collected), that
will also be burnt to cd-r, ...copy them onto C:\ etc. and work at a DOS
prompt.

While experimenting, one thing that's puzzling me, is that after booting up
from the NTFS4DOS bootable floppy, it take AGES to boot up - -eventually I
get a colourful screen asking me if I'm using it for private or business
use, where I have to type in "yes" and hit [Enter], and I'm left with no
access to hd partitions i.e. only drives A:\ and C:\ (a ramdrive) are
accessible at the DOS prompt.

....oh well ...continuing to fiddle :-)

regards, Richard

..one thing that crosses my mind when using with DOS level progs. (such
as
multi-av), is "Oh dear - no ide/bus master drivers in use i.e. data
stream
down to a crawl \ on the ribbons !"

How would one boot from bootable-cd to a clean DOS os / or XP "Safe Mode"
that loaded IDE drivers - and then could run multi-av a lot faster ? :-)

When I use Multi-AV, I download it to a clean machine, run all the
updates, burn the entire folder to a CD, and then take it to the machine
to be cleaned - boot in safe mode, copy the CD folder to the C:\
location (so that the folder is copied) and then run the different
scanners from the menu.
