Looking for effective/reliable command line scanners.

[Niclo Iste]

I used to use 2-3 command line virus scanners and unfortunately 2 have gone MIA. The one I have left is NOD32DOS and it's been missing a lot of the newer infections as of late. I generally like to run 2 command line scanners so they can overlap each other. I'm not picky free or "pay to play" are both fine to me. Just let me know if it's something I have to pay for so I can attempt getting a trial usage.

Also can anyone give me any ideas on how to boot a PC in a command prompt with the ability to get online? I've seen one such concept via the Hiren's Boot CD but it was totally foreign to me and there was no documentation on its usage that I could readily find. This isn't necessary but I figured I'd ask since it's a bit in relation to my original question.

You might want to take a look at these for the scanners:

Avira AntiVir command line scanner (unicode for Windows 2000, XP and Vista)

and what about UBCD for getting to the command prompt?

I've been having very good luck with superantispyware portable..

it's a good one for running from a usb drive or cd in safe mode and getting the worst stuff off..you have to download it fairly frequently to get the updates, but it names itself in random ways to hide from malware

Thank you for the prompt reply everyone. I'll get to trying these out some time this week.
