What do you mean, while you're doing your Unattended CD? While you're making it or while you're installing it?

If it's while you're making it, viruses won't target installation files that are on your hard drive. To a virus, they're just like any other set of files. No need to worry there. (A virus has to know where to look for the files that it wants to infect/corrupt... since everyone has a different file structure...)

Try a vitual machine. Install a known safe XP (say, ur original XP CD) into the virtual machine. Then do whatever you want to within the virtual machine. After making the final ISO, just copy it back to your real comp and burn it. Thats just about as safe as you can be..
