Clamav can scan Windows for viruses from within Linux.

[rocketman768]

If you run linux, you can scan your windows partitions with clamav antivirus without having to boot into windows.

If you are scanning ntfs partitions, you might need the ntfs-3g module which gives you write access to those partitions.

isn't the ntfs-3g natively supported and installed in 7.10 and 8.04 ?

I managed to do the complete opposite by mistake once on a multibooting computer with Windows XP and about 8 Linux installations. I'd already installed Ext2 IFS for Windows (http://www.fs-driver.org/) but forgotten about it. One day I set AVG scanning in Windows and went off to do something else. When I came back an hour or so later I found that it was methodically working its way through all the Ext3 Linux partitions looking for Windows viruses.

It didn't find any. :roll:
