How do I get Anti-Virus software on a USB Flash Drive?

Asked by FirstDownMage in Symantec Anti-Virus Software, McAfee Anti-Virus Software, Removable Backup Media

Tags: Anti-Virus, Norton, McAfee, Eset, USB Flash Drive

I saw something that I thought was pretty awesome, about a week ago.  I unfortunately, didn't get the chance to talk to the person, to get more details about his device.

He had a flash drive that he stuck into the computer, and it began running a full system anti-virus scan.  He said the flash drive was not writable (some kind of switch or setting), something about being in CD-mode.  Anyhow, nice as that little part was (not really super essential), the part that was super awesome was that he had an anti-virus program stored on the flash drive, and didn't need to install anything on a computer he went to, he just pop in the drive, and scan the computer from his flash drive.  Sounds pretty awesome right ?

So.....   First question.   Has anybody seen this before,  where can I buy this ?

Second question,  if you haven't seen it before, has anyone heard of it, or how to make it / set it up using your own flash drive ?

Lastly... anyone heard of something similar ?  I'm always looking for some cool new gadgets for anti-virus, spam, security, backup, etc.  utilities.

Thanks.
