Have you ever tried Knoppix?

I have tried slax, nimblex, and mandriva but i have never really been able to get my hands on knoppix.

Dannioni, all of the linux distros i've used cannot modify files on a windows storage device.

My record is about 80 viruses. (mostly copies).

This only works with Mandriva linux. First of all, boot the pc. On the logon screen, go to the menu button below. Select console login. The type in root to start as the administrator. That's all. The start the X server by typing startx.

You know, in my country, it is amazing to see how many people use computers and don't have an antivirus/ have an unmaintained antivirus. I have fixed 5 pc's so far, and three of them had dozens of viruses.

I once got an infected flash drive to clean. As soon as I put it in, Norton told me it had w32.sillyFDC. I tried to delete it, but the drive was locked. So i unlocked it and put it back in, and the virus disapeared right in front of my eyes. So I scanned it with Norton and it picked up 3 instances of w32.rontok@mm. But even a regularly updated Norton '07 can get confused by this old tricky virus. It names itself X.exe where X is the directory in which it resides. If you open the folder X in Windows explorer the virus moves itself, too quick to catch. I was eventually forced to delete 19 copies of it in dos prompt.
