ClamAV and F-Prot can both scan a windows partition from Linux. However, I doubt they would be much help if you are trying to clean an ntfs partition.

I'm hoping to use one to scan clients hard drives without having to leave mandrake and boot into Winblows XP. I use a removeable HDD bay for this purpose as often once the virus is in place, I cannot install antivirus on their computers. So, at present I'm booting into Windows XP (sorry for swearing!) and using my copy of Norton System Works to knock the virus on the head first. I would dearly love to use Mandrake for this because at present it involves two reboots: One into windows to update my own virus definitions and check for any more winblows patches to protect my own system. And the second to insert the clients HDD (non hot pluggable ide bay) and scan the bloody thing. -Aidan.
