Can you start a LXC container from a Live CD?

[Ovidiu]

I know it sounds weird and I guess not but I had to ask.
I've got a guest infected with some sort of malware that keeps sneakily sending emails and I can't seem to be able to squash it, every time I delete an infected file it pops up somewhere else :-(

So my thoughts were to boot off a forensics live CD and analyze this particular LXC.

Any useful advice?

Malware in a LXC?

 

[Ovidiu]

Not sure I get your reply but maybe I didn't describe the situation properly?

I have setup Debian 8 inside an LXC and after importing some websites supposed to be hosted in there I realized some were infected with malware.
I've since scanned the box multiple times and removed hopefully all infected .php files but one can never be sure.

Does my question now make sense?
