Please read carefully, I am not asking for a virus/adware scanner for use on my Mac HD, but rather my Windows Partition.

I was just wondering if there were any tools for scanning for viruses on a partition, from the safety of Mac OS X.

I (rather stupidly) ran around on the internet unprotected, with out of date anti-virus and whatnot, and now my Windows partition is infected (please no lectures). If I boot into Windows I either get a BSoD or the option to run in Safe Mode, once I log in and try to remove adware and viruses my laptop shuts down...

If not I think I'll just salvage what I need to and re-install. But, if there is such an application, I'd love to know.
