i would suggest installing ubuntu onto a USB stick or memory card, alternatively to using a live CD, since you cannot simply install applications onto a CD like that. VM images are no exception on a CD.
also, you shouldn't have to worry about anti-virus apps, ubuntu is very secure and isolated from 90%+ of existing malware. the 10% being cookie trackers within web browsers which could be intercepted by extensions like ABP (adblock plus).
i know this isn't entirely what you want to hear but that's the best i can offer with my knowledge.
