I've been searching around for a bootable CD that can virus fix NTFS

I've found several CD's based on Linux that will check in RO mode, but none
that will (safely anyways) in RW.
Pipe dream?
Heck, doesn't even need to be free as long as the cost is reasonable.
Just so extra emails aren't generated, I've tried:
Helix
Ultimate Boot CD (this one claims NTFS RW, but when I boot, it appears to be
RO... Haven't actually tried using on an infected system yet)
Auditor
Whoppix
Just so you know, I'm pretty sure all of the LiveCD's go RO by default,
even if the kernel is compiled to allow RW. That's just a safety
precaution against users that don't know the limits and dangers of writing
to an NTFS volume. You can still pop open a terminal and re-mount it RW
by hand, although I would suggest running clam (that's what you're using,
right?), and if you FIND a virus, mount it RW and either remove it by hand
or run clam again again allow clam to clean up the mess then.
