My hope is to find CDs that are extremely easy to use, even for your grandma, so that we can give them to customers of FreeGeek and they can do the spyware-removal themselves.

boot CD	size	signatures updated on release ISO	signatures can be updated via internet?	ease of use

Ease of use

• Avira
  • downsides: the boot menu is intimidating/confusing for new users; it always boots up in German (though it's easy to switch to English)
  • upsides: once it gets past the boot menu, it's very easy to use
• AVG
  • downsides: text menus throughout; the boot menu is intimidating/confusing for new users
  • upsides: if you choose the default menu selection every time, it takes you to the virus scanner
• BitDefender
  • Very easy to use. Graphical and everything.
• F-Secure
  • It doesn't have a graphical UI like BitDefender, but it's still very straightforward.
