antivirus live cd, will it work on OSX?

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this. d/l'd and burnt v24, booted it in a mid-2009 macbook pro running el Capitan 10.11.6. The boot sequence skips past the set root password screen and drops me at the login screen...at this point the keyboard is not responding and I must hard crash the machine to reboot. Clues, pointers happily read.

Hi,

1) You should use the username "root" and the password "root" to log in into AntivirusLiveCD.
2) HFS/HFS+ partitions are supported out of the box (they are mounted during the boot to enable their scanning by ClamAV).
3) It can't be excluded that your keyboard is not supported by AntivirusLiveCD.

Got a cheap external usb keyboard? Just in case? I keep a roll up silicone keyboard. About 5 bucks off USA ebay from china. For situations like this.
