can we get a rescue disk/boot cd version of clamwin that boots directly in to clamwin and will be able to download virus updates and them be able to do a virus scan and remove virus if it find any kinda like the avira rescue cd https://www.free-av.com/en/tools/12/avira_antivir_rescue_system.html

Those bootable rescue disks usually allow you to boot to a copy of the Linux operating system so you can bypass Windows and run a scan with an AV that they have set up to run under Linux. This would probably involve a lot of work for the ClamWin team. It's best if you can build your own. You might look into the Untimate CD Bootdisk for Windows at https://www.ubcd4win.com/ on the web or Bart's PE at https://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ on the web. However, I've never had any luck building either!

An alternative is to get the ClamWin Portable version (a separate project), for which information is available at https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/clamwin_portable on the web. You could maybe boot into Windows Safe Mode and run the ClamWin portable version on CD or USB stick from there. Safe Mode can render some viruses unable to fully do their evil stuff.

I hope this helps.

i would like to see a official one made or a unofccal on e made so users dont have to do it there self and all they have to is download the iso then burn it to disk or pit it on a usb thumb drive

Hello,

Guess in such case the Portableapps would be the best choice. You can choose the full pack of application (all open source) or just the ones that are most useful to you.
I have it installed on a pen drive and that serves me well when I have to scan a friend's machine with Clamwin.

or a if there is a clamav bootcd project that is directed at removing viruses on windows i would like to now about

You can put any Linux OS distibution on a USB drive and then put Clam on there as well. You should then be able to boot up with Linux and scan the hard drive with Clam. Since you don't use Windows with this, no Windows malware can hide, so when you can with Clam, you can find any malware that is in the Clam database.

As mentioned on the ClamWin Antimalware Page, there are also several AVs that have made free Linux boot disks that contain a compatable version of their scanner to use when malware has taken over your Windows computer. I like the one from Kaspersky and Dr. Web.

Finally, booting up your computer in Windows Safe Mode prevents some malware (but not all of them) from hiding from you. Some AVs don't work too well in Safe Mode; however, ClamWin, Malwarebytes' Antimalware, and Dr. Web's Cureit work fine. There may be others that work well, also, but I know these 4 AVs do.
