Good antivirus for checking winxp partition?
 

I was wondering if there is any GOOD antivirus to run from my fedora core 2 linux partition so i can check my winxp partition for viruses?????

You can try wine-ing some antivirus. I dont know if you can really do this, but I have managed to wine a simple antivirus called "Stinger" from McAfee. It searches for only a few network viruses.

I can't say about the success rate of detecting a windows virus while working in Linux environment.

Clam antivirus does have linux' virus scanners.

I am looking for a antivirus program to scan win partitions.Not to scan linux partitions!Any other?

Panda. It works great!

Got any link to that maybe dear blitzen?

Just found the panda antivirus link i was looking for ( http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/linux/linux.asp ) !

Is there maybe a good antivirus to scan win partitions WITH a nice gui?

PS How do i update the panda antivirus?The one on the site is dated 02/2004!

If you find one, let me know.

Remember this is free stuff.

I don't know how or if the free Linux Panda is updated. You may need to check the release and reinstall.

McAfee offers Linux Anitivirus. I think you need to pay for it........

Hi,

Chronomium is an alternative, but it's a live CD

PS: sorry the site is in french :mad:

There's this virus scanner in knoppic I read. F-prot or something, is it good?

Hi, I used Avast AV free version in winxp, I recently noticed that they offer a linux version but I haven't tried it, but also I think it's for pay. Good luck!

Fprot on knoppix? That sounds cool!

i've been reading on the security forum and i've found out that clamav is a good antivirus, that is use on e-mail servers, that software scans for windows virus, so does f-pro which comes with knoppix, I also know there is another antivirus software from avg, go to grisoft.com to check it out. I haven't tried it mysefl, and i don't know if it's for free.
