Anti-virus with boot-time scan?

shattered.likeness · Jan 27, 2007

I have recently started using Avast Anti-virus, and am absolutely loving the boot time scan option.

Does anyone know if there is an anti-virus software program that also has a boot time scan option?

You already have that option with your installed AVAST!

I kinda guess you mean Antispyware/Malware application with boot-time scanning?

If so dont think off hand any do this at present unless they have found malware and it can only be cleaned at system boot, Spybot S&D can do a scan at system start as in its Advanced menu and Settings option you can set System Start option to Automatically Run Program at System Startup.

Sorry about that, typo. Yes, I did mean anti spyware.

I tried Spybot's version of it, but I can't seem to get it to run.

Ad-Aware can scan the system at startup, prior to explorer's loading.

I take it that this is only available in the full version of ad-aware?
