Dear all.

I'm looking for a way to scan existing Windows XP installations for 
trojans, viruses etc. The closest match to my needs seems to be Nessus, 
but I have the following reservation:

Since the client has to be installed on the running Windows system, it 
shouldn't be too hard to fool by some pre-existing trojan. I was 
therefore wondering, if you know any way of running such a 
vulnerability scanner from a bootable CD, thus making sure that all 
benchmarks start from a clean system and results can be trusted.

Thanks
