Create Emergency Boot Disk (CD)

In earlier versions of McAfee anti-virus products, one was able to create an Emergency Disk, which was a bootable floppy with anti-virus scan. As security products have become more sophisticated, the ability to create an Emergency Disk has either been well-hidden or has disappeared completely. Is there a way to create an bootup CD from within the latest "McAfee 3-User Total Protection" ? If so, where is it hiding? If not, does McAfee offer regular subcribers the ability to to so in another venue? If they do, they hide that well, too.

This isn't a feature any more, sorry. There are plenty of tutorials on the internet.

Surprising and disappointing, I'd like to compliment my toolkit with a McAfee version. I manage systems running both McAfee and Norton, and Norton still offers a downloadable ISO to burn a bootable o/s image with virus scanning. It's quite effective. Come on guys, give us this simple tool.

Sorry, nothing has changed since this was posted 18 months ago.

Thanks Ex_Brit. I suppose you need more than one squeaky wheel to make a difference.
