Virus Scan Tool

Does anyone knows about a good dos style virus scan, just like the old scan.exe tool from mcafee. I'm trying to boot a XP computer with a live CD and them run the scan tool with the virus definitions updated. I was told that mcafee does not provide such application anymore.

Thx

It's not the old DOS version but runs in Windows. Here it is:

The Bart PE site gives an FTP link. This is McAfee site link.

If you are interested in non-networked PCs, Stinger would be a better choice. The command line scanner is an enterprise product -- translated as pricey. Stinger is free.
