I think my desktop PC might be infected with a Trojan horse, and I'm considering using my mom's laptop to create a bootable USB with antivirus software. Is this possible? Would it work on my desktop?

Certainly! I’ve done this a lot, so it's definitely doable. Just ensure to follow the correct steps when creating the USB.
Absolutely! You can use software like Avira or Hiren's Boot CD. Many people recommend using Rufus to create the live disk, and YUMI is another good option. Also, if your PC has Windows, disconnecting from the internet and using the built-in antivirus could be a quick fix too.
For sure, just make sure you find a portable antivirus version that can run from the USB, or a live environment you can boot from. Here's a helpful link: https://www.lifewire.com/free-bootable-antivirus-tools-2625785. It guides you through some free bootable antivirus tools that could help.
Yeah, this is pretty common! Just clean the USB stick to ensure it's only the antivirus program on there. Make sure to pick one that works well offline. I used to love Malwarebytes when I was on Windows—really effective!
