The reason I want this is I'm using Ubuntu on a USB stick to get rid of crap on Windows machines. It is faster than rebooting 5-6 times and installing a bunch of different programs for removal of adware, spyware etc. in Windows.

I've had some success with clamav but I need a few more programs to cover more ground.

I want free options as well as non-free (this is for work anyway).

UBCD4Win might be better for that, but I know of AVG (http://free.avg.com/download?prd=afl), aVast (http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-for-linux-workstation.html), and maybe BitDefender (http://www.bitdefender.com/site/Downloads/browseEvaluationVersion/1/42/), too (don't know if they're a free Linux version).

Rising AV is Linux compat I think.
