Use Kubuntu to Scan Windows Drives

[Thomas00]

There is a fairly popular IT magazine (c`t) in the german speaking market which once or twice a year offer an anti virus CD to their subscribers.
Based on Ubuntu with AV scanners from Avira, Eset, F-Secure and Sophos.

Hey guys, very happy to be here on the Kubuntu Forums!

Just installed my First Kubuntu 18.04 onto one of my laptops. I would really like to use this laptop to boot Infected Windows drives and scan them. Obviously only when needed, as I understand that some malware is better detected when running. I just don't want to infect my Windows work machine as I've done before, and I love playing around with Linux also. It also needs to be a Free AV!

I know about ClamAV, and the GUI ClamTK, but from what I've read it is not all that good. So I'm poking around to see if I can install a few to cover all Malware bases. When I'm done I can then Copy over files perhaps connect to a Windows machine.

I'm going to experiment with GSmartControl also to Test Drives. This way I can do all my work on my new Kubuntu laptop.

If this is not feasible I'll just boot from a Malware Removal Disk. I guess at the least I can use ClamAV.

I will leave this LINK here because it is up-to-date and we all can refer to it if needed.
