[Eric De Mund]

Jason,

] I have a friend that has a couple of viruses (viri for the picky) on a
] windows machine they are boot block viruses. I found the following link

] 
] What say the peanut gallery? (and yes Rick I also posted this on
] ilug at linux.ie I am originally from Dublin).

Me, I'd boot from an Avira AntiVir Rescue System CD, made from download-
able .iso file. ObLinux, I believe this CD is actually booting and run-
ning some flavor of Linux.

I believe they update this .iso image several times per month. It's
available, gratis, from:

    >   Avira AntiVir Rescue System        Jun 12, 2012    EXE    248 MB
    >   Avira AntiVir Rescue System        Jun 12, 2012    ISO    247 MB

Good luck,
Eric
