Endpoint Protection

Is there a way to create an emergency CD that can be used to run an antivirus scan on a system where SEP is not installed yet?  I need something that can scan the machine, without installing anything to it.

You can use SERT as mentioned by Jackie. I add an article explaining how to use it from USB stick:

Thanks.  Is there any method that doesn't involve an inline update?  This machine has no Internet access.

If the machine does not have Internet access and you want to scan it, you would need anyway to download latest definition if you want the scan to be effective (http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH131732).

Another technology exists, called PowerEraser (http://www.symantec.com/theme.jsp?themeid=spe-user-guide) to consider more like a generic removal tool, but it also requires Internet access to communicate with Symantec reputation servers.

The system is not infected, but our process requires us to scan it before we put it on our network.  I can only do so with a CD where the definitions would be self-contained.  Is there any way to do that?

You can download the definitions from an Internet connected machine and put on USB and from there add to the CD when it prompts for definition location.
