You just download the program and run it. It will automatically burn a Linux distro with AV scanner to a CD. Just reboot from the CD any you're in the new system.

I checked Avira Anti-virus (Free version). It seems to be based on DazukoFS and has on-access & on-demand scanning support. But, i am unable find an option to scan a Windows Machine from Linux Machine in the same Network. So, I checked the Kaspersky Anti-virus (Free version) also. It has an option of remote administration of Kas-persky Anti-Virus.For remotely using Kaspersky Administration Kit, the Network Agent has to be installed on the system that has to be remotely monitored. But, is there a method of avoiding the Network agent in the remote machine/client and scanning from this Administrator machine itself ? I find that, Kaspersky Administration Kit enables the complete remote administration of Kaspersky Anti-Virus on individual client computers, including: starting and pausing scans, general configuration such as enabling and disabling protection, and configuring settings for report creation. It seems that only linux clients can be monitored from windows machine. But, does it support the scanning of a Windows Machine from Linux Machine using the method of Remote monitoring ? Any ideas ? Thx in advans, Karthik Balaguru
