+1 I strongly agree with Tech, are you still waiting for an answer from Alwil :-\
I’m not 100% the Bart CD option should go into the Pro and up to cover the cost, as I remember when I tried the trial version of Bart CD it was a paid version. It would be nice to include this Bart CD platform into the free version, but I don’t think Alwil will plan this option into the free version because they might give away to much free option while they are running a business.
I’m not asking for Bart CD to be free.
I’m not even asking for a bootable CD/DVD scanning antivirus.
I’m only asking for access to Chest by a CD/DVD and possibility of restoring files.
Why not use your tool? it works like a charm. ??? 
Bob, if the user can’t make logon, why would my tool have any utility?
I was talking about access to the chest.
Bob, I’m not able to access Chest at boot time… I can’t make a tool for it.
My tool works if the user wants/needs access at logon time.
My error, sorry.
Don’t worry. Never mind.
Some people seems to have develop a plugin for PE environment and run avast 4.
I could never “use” it and I don’t know if it will work on version 5.
The better and easier will be Alwil acknowledge this and give us access to Chest.
I don’t see much of a difference between programs. Avast just destroyed my boot drive and support can’t be bothered to respond. At least McAfee support responds to critical issues. They may not fix them, but at least they respond.
Avast just destroyed my boot driveI find that hard to believe especially since you didn't post any details. ???
I’ve installed avast! on 100’s of computers and it’s never destroyed anything.
McAfee offers cash for clunkers
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/04/26/mcafee_repair_invoice/
Anti-virus firm McAfee is reimburse people who have spent money getting their computers fixed after they were damaged by last week's security update.....…Customers are asked to call a local, toll-free number to talk to a technician. If they are unable to fix the problem then a software fix can be downloaded to another machine. If this is not possible McAfee will send a CD.
If you have already spent money on fixing your machine then McAfee said it was “committed to reimbursing reasonable expenses”.
