Use Knoppix for Windows anti-virus?
I just got an idea. I don't know if it's a GOOD idea, but it could very well be -- and get some good press for Knoppix in the bargain.
Have you ever encountered a Windows machine so crudded-up with viruses that it wouldn't boot (or you were afraid to, for fear of further damage)? I have! I envision a version of the Knoppix disc that has Linux-based anti-virus software capable of detecting and dealing with Windows viruses on a user's machine.
The obvious question is: does such Linux software exist? I Googled the phrase "linux based windows antivirus" and the only hits I got were Linux server-side software that could deal with Windows client-side viruses. I think that, in order to run on a Knoppix disc, it would either have to be more local-oriented or able to "trick" the software into a client-server simulation. I think this idea has potential. Any further ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not a programmer, or I would take this on myself...
