Trojans/Viruses etc. are constantly changing things. Making a CD will
mean you'll have to make a new CD all the time to keep up-to-date with
the changes, sounds like one big mess to me.

Subject: System Security Audits
Hello,
I have a question about doing system (Windows) security
audits.
By system security audits I mean things like checking if computer
is free of malware, trojans, viruses, if user has appropriate
permissions (not too high or to say if user has restrictive
permissions) etc.
I have a couple of ideas which i could use, one is to create
an universal CD with all the stuff needed. Everything is on the
CD, nothing will be installed on the client's computer.
The Audit Team just puts CD in, runs applications and that's it.
The other is to bool from a CD on the client's computer
which would bring us to some different environment (probably
linux). As booted mount the filesystems and do all the
audit stuff from such environment.
Or, please, suggest any other methods that could be used.
