Linux based Anti-virus for windows

I am currently running Windows XP along with Ubuntu 9.10. Is there any anti-virus which can scan for windows viruses , from ubuntu ? I had tried ClamAV sometime back. It didn't work very well. Is there any other alternative ? Preferably a free one :)

"ClamAV does scan for Windows viruses but you right, it does not work very well compared to Windows alternatives. However I don't know any other free antivirus for Linux, not really interesting project for Open Source community, it seems.

However, major brands in antivirus world do have solutions for Linux. Kaspersky has one, Panda Software also have one, AVG is in the same team. Not sure which one works better though, never tried any of those."
