Re: Antivirus from usb drive?

Programs like SSM, ProSecurity and the free version of Process Guard can protect your AV and any other apps (e.g. your firewall) from being terminated. Even the free versions of SSM and ProSecurity can do this. ProcessGuard is probably easier to set up though, imo.

There are other HIPS programs that do this as well. Also most good HIPS will prevent the virus from starting in the first place.

That why it's smart to run one of these HIPS programs along with your AV. Especially if it's one of the freebies like AVG, Avast or Antivir because they are easily terminated AVs.
