This useful utility comes in handy when you need to clean a friend's PC (or your own) from a malware infested state. It is specially useful for detecting and disinfecting malware infections which give regular AV products running within Windows a hard time.

The download consists of an ISO. You can either burn this into a CD/DVD or alternatively create a more convenient Boot USB stick by using something like the Universal Netboot Installer (UNetbootin).

"Requires internet connection"
Version: Panda SafeCD 4.4.3.0
Pros
n/a (did not run)
Cons
Will not run without an active internet connection
Summary
Seems kind of self-defeating to have a boot cd that will not run without internet access.. I was looking for a tool I could use on an infected machine thaqt had been isolated from the network.

"Pxe safecd.iso"
Version: Panda SafeCD 4.4.3.0
Pros
I was able to configure the iso to safeboot and save the newest virus defs. to the nfs mounted file system.
Cons
The kernel needs to be recompiled to support x64 systems as well as some sata interfaces. I am still working to complete the kernel recompile but it should not be a huge hurtle for anyone with a Linux background.
Summary
Panda's SafeCD is a good product but it could be made great for a large scale network by creating a live dvd supporting pxe boot auto repair with out a the user needing to burn up their support offices time. This could all be done with only few small changes to their live cd. fir
Oops, site timed out. I will update my recommendations for panda for a live pxe/netboot cd at a later time. Sorry :(
