win32 virus removal using Linux


When I unzipped an archive in Win2k, my AVG gave a Virus alert. It cannot be removed while running Windows, or even with a special tool that I ran from C:\ I recall seeing a Linux tool to fix these embedded virus, but I can't find it now. Any help, experiences or advice would be appreciated.

BTW, Trend Micro's HouseCall also identified it, but could not fix it.

TNX,

dad

Or use Knoppix, update the version of F-Prot which comes with it and then scan your hard drive.
