I have used both Avast! and aegis anti-virus solutions from an Ubuntu LiveCD environment with reasonable success for such a purpose. You will have to install the 'NTFS Configuration Tool' in order to mount your Windows drive read-write as well (otherwise you'll only be able to find, not remove, viral files).

I've also heard of people getting Spybot S&D to run under Wine, although I have never done so personally.

Good luck!

I guess I need a good malware tool that runs on Linux and cleans NTFS
volumes.

Thanks.
