If you mean anti-virus based cd's there is a good review on Dedoimedo here.

If it's Linux distros you're after try here.

It's nice to be important, it's much more important to be nice.

If by program, you mean an antivirus disk that scans your computer without loading Windows, that's the top link. If by program you mean an OS, like what Microsoft Windows is, but safer, you want a Linux distro. The distros are very secure compared to Windows, even without an antivirus or firewall at all. However, if you really want one, you can get ClamAV for it.

The Dr. Web Live CD is an antivirus disk, if that helps.

What is it you want to do with the live cd? Use it to read online email? Watch videos? Cruise the web? Banking?

Or do you want it to help repair a Windows OS?

Tomorrow the latest Ubuntu will be released.....11.04....Ubuntu homepage | Ubuntu

Live CDs are good to help recover files, banking, temporary use on the web and check your hardware to see if
it is compatible with the Linux before installing. Another reason is to see if the USER is compatible. Using a live CD is much slower than an installed OS.

The reason it is very safe to use is because nothing is stored on your computer. Nothing. The live CD only uses
your RAM/ memory. As soon as you exit the live CD, all is erased. Gone. Kaput. Nothing is written to the HDD.

The Live CD IS Ubuntu in its entirety. You get the full OS. The only downside is a bit of a performance loss... And, also, any applications that don't come with it to start have to be installed all over again once you turn the computer off. It comes with most of what you need, but just keep that in mind if you pick anything up from the Ubuntu Software Center...

Don't worry, you can still use the internet, play music, read PDFs, watch videos, etc. without anything extra. If you really like it, though, you should think about putting it on your hard disk alongside your other OS.

:3 The chameleon's so cute. I wonder if he has a name...

But, yeah, the very operating system I'm typing this on just happens to be Ubuntu. I've got a trojan on Windows, so I'm using it for safety... Trust me, it's pretty secure for stuff like that. Hope I helped out.
