avast5 boot scan

if a person has a laptop with win xp installed and he/she can’t quite get to the log on screen. is it possibly caused by a virus and if yes how would it be possible to do a boot scan if they can’t boot into windows. could a disc be burned. thanks

and i might as well ask, will there ever be a boot scan for the 64bit OS.

Avast! has BART.>>http://www.avast.com/bart-cd
Not cheap, unfortunately.

Here are a couple of free alternatives.
