Is there a virus scanner for Ubuntu that can be used on the bench to scan windows drives for viruses? I got one so far, ClamTK. Scanning with it, wonder if thats the right one to use or if there is something better

ClamAV. I think that's what you are looking for.

if you download the portable apps suite for windows (it wines just fine) you can get a really decent virus scanner for windows that runs under linux. I beleive they use clam for their scanner
