Which is the good antivirus will be please recommend me any one. Any suggestion will appreciate thanks in advance.

There is an antivirus called as Panda Security that is having the CD use for the scan at the time of the booting. Before starting of the windows antivirus starts to scan at the booting sectors. If you are have preinstalled the any other antivirus then you should remove that before scanning with other antivirus. I hope this information may help you.

I think you cannot scan at the time of booting; scanning is happened only when it determines the system is infected. If r you want to do the deep scan from the command line then you have to scan in safe mode, it is similar to the boot scan. At the time of start up of the machine, continuously press the function 8 button for the safe mode. Then after you are in the safe mode you can scan thoroughly scan for virus in your system.

I am using the Avast antivirus for my computer security and avast having the option for the boot scanning. As I do boot scanning many of the time and it helps me to keep my system secure from the viruses. Avast can do boot scanning anytime; you just have to open the scheduler option and select the “boot time scan”. If you are having any other query then please reply me.
