I would like to put together a thumbdrive AV/Malware scanner for quick
scans.

Can anyone recommend some good current tools that can be run from a
thumbdrive without having to install the program to windows?

I found Dr.Web. Is it any good?

I have also used Hijack This. Is it still the standard?

Back in the old days, I used to boot from floopy and run F.Prot to get
rid of MBR and bootloader virus. Can one boot from USB and do this
these days? Any bootable AV out there?

Clamwin Portable requires installation. I am looking for something I
don't have to install, but can just run.

You may want to try my Multi AV Scanning Tool that includes AV scanners from;
McAfee,
Sophos, Trend Micro and Kaspersky.

The included PDF Help File will explain how to use the Multi AV in conjunction
with a
Flash Drive.


Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.pctipp.ch/ds/28400/28470/Multi_AV.exe

http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

English:
http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/01/09/scan-your-computer-with-multiple-anti-virus-for-free/

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go
through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal
Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the
PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you
can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded
the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode
[F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run
in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive
PDF help
file.
