Avast 5.0 on a thumbdrive??

[N5MNX]

Hi, can someone guide me in creating a USB Thumbdrive that I can boot from and scan my PC's with?
I know how to make it bootable, I just don't know how to create a scanner to run from it.
Can this be done?
I have licenses for 5.0.

It's not possible. avast needs to be locally installed.
Use other CDs.
Read the instructions, download and burn (maybe from another computer), finally use one of this rescue CD's:
1. Dr. Web
2. Avira
3. BitDefender
4. Kaspersky
5. F-Secure

Some users use:
6. Vba32 Rescue
7. G Data BootCD

OK then, I really appreciate the feedback and so quickly!
I'll try some of these others to see if I can see anything.
