    Reviewing 2.0.0.3 (Apr 7, 2009)

    This is pretty good. The default language is in German, and there isn't an easy determination that you are running with current definitions when you boot up.

    The more AV rescue disks you have, the better. Here are some more:

    BitDefender:

    Right now my fav is Bitdefender, it's had the best linux hardware compatibility, scan speed, detection rates, and interface, but it never hurts to have more. Really appreciate all these tools, it helps with my side job of fixing up AV on windows boxes.
