Antivirus Live CD has released version 53.0-1.5.4, which features a rebuilt 4MLinux base and includes ClamAV 1.5.4, addressing eight security vulnerabilities in common file parsers. This open-source rescue tool operates without an operating system, supports both Windows and Linux partitions, and is designed to scan infected machines effectively. The latest version is lightweight, requiring only about 1 GB of RAM, and is aimed at users needing a reliable rescue tool rather than a full antivirus suite. The project remains free under GPLv3, with a stable release expected in November 2026, and is available for download on SourceForge and the 4MLinux site
