OK, then I will ask a potentially silly question....;-) If I make a UBCD4WIN CD on an infected machine, will that CD be infected? Is there a way to make the CD on a potentially infected machine and not spread the viruses to the machines to be tested?
I need to make one of these CDs, but I only have 1 Windows machine, and that one is acting strange....maybe an infection, but ClamAV and other free antivirus programs report it clean. Since there is only an .exe file for UBCD4WIN, I assume one has to make the iso image on a Windows machine - is this correct? I think I am in a chicken and egg situation..... Thanks!
