    I need to be able to boot directly into a spyware cd or floppy. I thought that ubcd would work but it's a diags / virus boot cd. Can ya' relate?????

    No. You want to boot and spyware scan without loading Windows? I would boot into safe mode as an alternative. Otherwise, I dont get it.

    he want's to spyware scan before windows loads anything..

    Don't worry about that. Programs like Ad-Aware and Spy-Bot will ask to perform a scan on boot before windows completely loads if they found an item(s) that they can't clean because it's in use. It's all taken care of for you.

    Glad you speak Eubonics. What Kodo said is correct, what I said is correct if you really feel the urge to do it anyway.

    It took 150 distributed computing pc's to translate that message from LinearA to English ;)

    Ahem.....
    Pardon my temporary inability to properly articulate my current predicament
    ...

    What I originally meant; ...Using a program called UBCD (Ultimate Boot CD) which only ran system diagnostics, It could not do what I needed it to do.... However, I have found a program called BartPE (Has anyone heard of this???) which hypothetically can create a "bootable" CD with a 800x600 GUI that will allow you to add software i.e. "Spyware" program as well as to run (use) prior to loading windows even before "Safe mode". I ask this specifically for the reason that there are some hijacks that aren't even detected in Safemode or will return even after Ad-aware, Spybot or Pest Patrol detects/removes them. Now can you relate ???? (A figure of speach)

    I understand what you want to do. I've heard of BartPE as it's a download here on MG. But I've never seen any spyware cleaner that will scan in a preboot environment.
