Seek And Destroy Malware With An Antiviral Live CD 31
Yx writes "CHRONOMIUM Virus Live is a GPL automatic decontamination LiveCD. It can without installing anything on your computer, seek and destroy viruses found on it. It is very useful when viruses have taken over a computer, and made it unable to work correctly.
In its new 0.9 version, the GPL flavour is fully functional. So if you're doomed by those petty viruses, just try it, it may help you much!
Download it here."

If it uses captive-ntfs it *should* be able to write to NTFS but there's no more detail than that.

But there seems to be 3 version of the ISO... (6 if you count the fact that each come in En and Fr)
As far as I can tell, these are the edition (I can read french but the info is a bit spread across the site):
GPL Edition (Which uses ClamAV)
Fr: ftp://telechargement.antesis.org/download/CHRONOM
En: ftp://telechargement.antesis.org/download/CHRONOM
Community Edition (using F-prot)
Fr: ftp://telechargement.antesis.org/download/CHRONOM
En: ftp://telechargement.antesis.org/download/CHRONOM
Community Edition With NTFS drivers (using F-prot)
Fr: ftp://telechargement.antesis.org/download/CHRONOM
En: ftp://telechargement.antesis.org/download/CHRONOM
The lastest defintions for F-Prot have to be downloaded from: http://www.f-prot.com/download/ [f-prot.com]
(but they can be stored in a USB key)
Voilà!
Hope it clarify things a bit...

Though it is possible that "Non-GPL" refers to something else.

Of course when this is all done run a complete virus scan, I use the free version of AVG and haven't had any problems. And also be sure to get all the windows updates.
Last thing to be aware of is that some of this malware will corrupt system files and whatnot and a full reinstall may have to be done anyway, but I always recommend that as a last resort when fixing someone elses machine because there is always something that they forgot to backup and it's you they're going to call to try and find it.
