    As Prachand indicted now there is no such cd is present.An idea is present you can vote for it.

    Anyway in a bootable USB drive you can keep NSS tool. Which will help you to scan after booting fron that drive .
    For this

    Download NSS tool from
    ftp://ftp.symantec.com/misc/tools/nss/

    How to run the Norton Security Scan on a machine with limited or no internet connectivity.

    1. On a machine with network connection, follow Step 1. and 2. and extract the files to C:\VirusScan\NSS and launch NSS.exe.

    The Virus definitions will download to the local machine here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\SymcData\virusdefs-2.5-e\<date.rev>).

    2. In the C:\VirusScan\NSS folder, create a folder called “VirusDef” (example C:\VirusScan\NSS\VirusDef)

    3. Copy all the virus definition folder content from \<date.rev> folder (example:20080725.003) into the VirusDef folder

    4. Copy the entire VirusScan folder to a thumb drive.

    5. Now you can start NSS.exe from the thumb drive. It may complain about definition might not be the latest, but you can skip that message.
