The Kaspersky boot CD simply shuts down the computer when it gets to the
graphics display. It has a "safe" mode that looks like a simple bash
shell, and I have no idea what to do there. Clearly an experimental
project for them....

The Avira boots, but it looks like a very simple tool.

Haven't seen that behavior on any machines I've run it on.
Simple means nothing, as long as it accomplishes the task it's designed to
do, which is scan for nasties.
