Dear Sunny,
Thanks. clamscan command works, but it says that the virus database file is older than 7 days, does not scan and exits. Is there any way to scan even with an old database and any folder on hard disk while booting from CD-ROM.

To update the anti virus definitions open a terminal and run
freshclam
to scan for files in the windows directory of partition hda1
clamscan -i /mnt/hda1/WINDOWS
note that you need to know where the partition is mounted.
Mount it rw if you want any virus(es) removed

And think very carefully about this and if you have good backups of all of the files if this is a NTFS partition. There is a good chance that doing this (writing, not scanning, which in itself is safe) on a NTFS partition will munge the partition. Knoppix, and Linux in general, does not have a good track record in writing to NTFS partitions and the default Knoppix drivers are not safe. I personally would use Knoppix to recover the files and then just do a fresh Windows install.
