By Panda Security

Scan and disinfect your OS without a need to install any software.

Panda SafeCD is a free utility to disinfect any Operating System. Simply burn into a CD or USB and boot your PC with Panda SafeCD to scan and disinfect your PC. 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.

Features include: Automatic detection and removal of all types of malware. Boot from CD or USB stick. Supports using updated signature files. Supports 13 languages. Supports both FAT and NTFS drives. 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
jeg83480June 6, 2011
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

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<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jan 27, 2011<p/>Oops, site timed out. I will update my recommendations for panda for a live pxe/netboot cd at a later time. Sorry :(

No Load-No Joy

Pros
NONE...if it didn't work-it didn't work
Cons
Even after unzipping and burning this to disk and telling my bios to boot from CD I still could not get the program to function. Maybe more detailed installation instructions should be included. HELP!!!!
Summary
What can I say,I'm still malware infested with absolutely no help from this program.
For full virus scanning, there is nothing better.
dr.bitsApril 2, 2010
Pros
It runs from a boot disk. It boots into Linux and scans my Windows PC. It cannot be confused by rootkits or other malware. The new version can fix problems on NTFS disks.
Cons
You have to boot into it, so it is not a day-to-day antivirus.
Summary
This is better antivirus scanning and virus removal than any program can provide that runs on your computer. When you suspect that your computer might have a virus, this is the product to use.
Excellent Anti Virus option
wendyy331February 13, 2010
Pros
If your computer becomes infrected you can already have this on CD and pop it right in, some Anti virus programs on your infected system can become corrupted, that's what makes this protected CD so handy and a great option to have.
Cons
None so far, cured my system very quickly, will keep it handy.
Summary
I would recommend this excellent free product to anyone.
