Anti Virus to scan Windows?

[Greenturtle]

Is there some kind of utility that will scan a Windows Drive (say I put my laptop HDD into an external casing) for viruses?

I never really trust running a scanner with an infected computer.

Thanks

ClamX AV will do it.

If you're planning to use Windows for the scanning use Avast Home Edition (link). It's free, has a small footprint and good detection rates.

If on OSX use ClamXAV as r.j.s says

Wicked, didn't think ClamX AV would scan for Windows Viruses!

Thanks

That's its primary purpose. So you don't pass along anything.
