Since Clamwin have updated their scanner to v0.97.6 I've had nothing but trouble with it. It will crash the PC if I stop a scan or update while it is in progress, then cause some major file system errors on the drive. Are there any other scanners that can be made portable?

Probably on a Live Cd thats bootable, then scans the target disk.

One which keeps itself updated with small incremental updates, not download hundreds of MB every time it is. I have a very limited bandwidth usage per month.
