nice link.  can the PC boot and run at all or is it dead in the 
water...  what i am asking is does it boot and you can not install 
anything, or does it not boot into windows.

if it boots into windows, create a share with a user/pw combo to the $ 
drive of all drives on that system, then mount them via smb and scan 
with f-prot via ethernet.

if not most liveCD/DVDs today come with either clamAV or f-prot, or can 
install them so you can scan/clean/fix windows systems.
