    Virus cleaner for windows

    Hi,

    I installed knoppix adriane 6.2. Reason : scanning and cleaning my windows xp prof (that will not run anymore because of a virus in the bootsector).

    I used clamav : but this only scan for viruses and do not clean them.

    I there a good viruscleaner I can use in Knoppix that clean viruses on windows?


    thanks

    I've used the ClamAV program included in Knoppix succesfully to cleanup an infestation on a Windows system.

    There is an online scanner as well (several, actually.) The one I've used is from Trend Micro, called HouseCall. It requires a small download to work in Iceweasel/Firefox, though, so maybe a stand-alone disk like the F-Secure one would be better.

    Cheers!
