There are Windows boot CD/DVD tools you can create yourself too (ever heard of Windows PE?).

I can use a Windows computer on the internet (behind a simple firewall of course) without any security software whatsoever, and as long as I don't get careless or sloppy, can remain infection free. I use ESET to hopefully save me from myself if/when I were to get careless. So, loading your system down with lots of 'security software' that significantly slows your computer down is not smart. > I do have a Live CD for fixing the GRUB issues that installing a new > version of Windows causes.

Which is why you should also create a custom Windows PE boot DVD with your preferred tools.
