Antivirus Program That Will Run On A Boot Disk Or Thumdrive
Dec 14, 2009
I am looking to start a small business removing Virus's and also spyware. I know I could just hook up their Hard drives to my PC and scan them that way and I may be able to hook their PC to notebook and scan their PC, not sure if I could do that.
But I was hoping there may be a very good antivrus program that I could just run from a CD or DVD before it boots into windows or maybe from a Thumbdrive.
It would also be great if there was a very good Spyware program that could be ran the same way.
I really don't want to remove their hard drives to do this unless I have to.
I would enjoy building PC's to sell but can't see were I could make any money doing it.

I just built my pc and everything has been a success!
I attempted to install McAfee VirusScan Home Edition 13 on my new PC since I got it for free from school.
Before installing a message popped up saying "This program has known compatibility issues" and at the bottom it says to check for solutions or run the program. I ignored it and ran the program anyway. After going through the steps installing the security center, virus scan, firewall, siteadvisor, and etc. a message pops up after each item has a check next to it.
The message says McAfee integrated security platform installer has stopped working. then i have to close the program. I believe this is because it is an older version of McAfee that is not supported by Windows 7.
What is a good antivirus software that I can get for free?
I heard that Avast and Avira are good, but i am not sure which one to install.
I am not too sure about Microsoft Security Essentials because that seems to be a prime target to try and hack.
Any suggestions?

I downloaded Superantispyware.com on my netbook with Windows 7 starter.The security center notes that windows defender real time is turned off which is correct.There is a button to scan for other antivirus programs. However, windows 7 will not recognize my antivirus software. How do I correct this?

I recently attempted to install Anti-virus software on my Mom's HP laptop running Win 7 Home Premium. After that, the system would not boot. So I did a System Restore, and tried again thinking the Defrag I did after messed up the files. I then tried to install it again. Same result. At that point, I figured I would part ways with what I was using, AVG free 2013, and try Microsoft Internet Security Essentials. That ALSO produced same result. The only thing I could think of was that she had some kind of software conflict vying for the same space in the machine. She has a Norton online back up program installed and CC Cleaner, neither of which seem to be an antivirus.

I am working on Samsung notebook with Intel atom processor (without DVD Rom). I installed antivirus and later restarted the machine. After the restarting it tells me "windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your windows installation dics and restart your computer and other procedures
2. Chose your language settings and click nex
3. Click repair your computer"
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File : ootBCD
Status: 0xc0000098
The windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid OS entry.

I woke up this morning, and I found that my computer was displaying this message"Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter". There are a ton of needed documents on the computer, and I'm hoping that they can be saved some way.

I've been having this error even after reformatting and reinstalling Windows 7 on my desktop. I've done reformatting / reinstalling Windows 7 several times, yet the problem still occurs. I'm thinking of my HDD as being corrupted or messed up. The problem occurred after I accidentally hit the CPU when I was stretching my foot. The screen froze after that. Upon rebooting it, 'Disk boot failure, Insert system disk and press enter' occurs. After I entered the DVD installer of Windows 7, the screen just hangs.

I have been having a bit of trouble with windows 7 lately, namely that it won't start up right. When I boot from the drive normally, it gives me the classic "BOOT DISK ERROR: INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" message.
However, I soon discovered that if I boot from the Windows 7 cd and do not boot from it (By ignoring the "Press a key to boot from CD or DVD..." Windows 7 boots up fine.
I've tweaked my BIOS over and over, but the same problem persists. The drive is brand new and fine. What can I do?

When starting the computer, I keep getting "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter". Nothing works other than putting in the boot disk and hitting the restart button on the tower. Then it will boot up and run fine. But how do I stop it from having to have the disk in order to load? Checked in the BIOS and the hard drive is the first load.

I'm trying to mount a disk image so that I wont have to have the CD in to play a game.
I downloaded daemon lite but it tried to install a million bullshit things with it, and my computer was having a lot of hiccups until I uninstalled it. Is there a CLEAN program out there that can mount ISO files on W7 x64?
It's important that this be clean because it's my workstation.

I want to do a 'custom' reinstall on my C: drive. It's clogged with unused programs and it runs very slow.I set the BOIS to boot from HD and CD; neither worked. I purchased a new HD and may want to install it as my C: drive.I set the BOIS to boot from CD; still I get the dreaded message:"Disk boot failure insert system disk and and press enter"I recently installed a new mother board due to the fact it was defective, not as an upgrade.To make it clear I already had Win7 Ultimate installed. On my first attempt to perform #1 I got to the question of which install did I want; I clicked 'custom'. From then on nothing happened, and now I keep getting "THE DREADED MESSAGE".I put my win7 disk in another OSXP computer and it displayed, "This disk is not compatible with this system" so I assumed my disc was not corrupt.I bought my win7 disk legally on line a couple of years ago, and I have used it once. Will that be the problem? I never got to the "License key" so I don't see how it could be?

I know this is a simple question, but how do I make a backup copy of a new program disk in Windows 7... which I am allowed to do (according to the terms and agreement)? I want to do this so I have a backup in case the original disk fails.

2 months ago, I installed windows 7 pro with no problems at all. Fast forward to today, I decided to reformat because the boot would get stuck in the middle of trying to boot into windows, it wouldn't flash the windows logo. I didn't think much of it so I just reformatted. This is where my real troubles began.So I reinstall windows 7 pro with no problems (the boot disk is in there the cd drive the entire time) I install my programs and what not and install my updates. All 100% Fine. Then I take out the boot disk and restart again... and I get this error message saying:
Nvidia Boot Agent 229.0525
Copyright 2001-2005 Nvidia Corp
Copyright 1997-2000 Intel Corp
Client Mac Address: 00 30 1B BC1F59 GUID: 12973077-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF DCHP....
Then I press escape, then it says this:
PXE-EA0: Network Boot Canceled
PXE-M0F: Exiting Nvidia Boot Agent
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
So the first time I got this error, I just thought, Oh, something must have happened no big deal, so I reformatted again and again. But I kept on getting the same exact error. It'll load into windows just fine when my install disc is in the cd drive, but when I take it out, that error pops up. *My windows is authentic, each time I have been able to validate my copy.* I have tried installing from my hard drive and from the install disc with same error.*
This is my current set up:
Shuttle XPC SN27P2 (Barebone) Comes with motherboard, PSU, and case.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ @2.6GHz 65W
PNY XLR8 GTS 250
OCZ Reaper Memory 4GB PC-6400 DDR2-800
WD 74GB Raptor
WD 640GB Internal
WD 2.0TB Internal
WD 1.5TB External
WD 400GB External
Cavalry 1.0TB External
Shuttle 450 Watt PSU
Logitech G15 + MX518 + FuncPad 1030 Blk on Blk
Sony Optirac 18x DVD-/+RW drive
Dual Samsung SyncMaster 225BW 22" LCD Wide Screen Monitors
So how can I get windows to boot up with out having the boot disk in the cd drive...It worked the very first time I installed windows 7 on my PC...

I have windows 7 installed on laptop, i had to install XP on a partition in order to do something i cant in w7, now xp starts..I used to know of a program that could be run from within windows that would let you add OS's to the boot menu and choose a default but i cant remember its name, it was dead simple to use other stuff I see is more complicated, i just want to use that simple little program.
