I use Clamav on my mail gateway (along with Sophos) and it works very well,
quite a few times catching new virus outbreaks quicker than Sophos.  (All
wrapped up with MailScanner which also calls SpamAssassin for me).

BUT email/http isn't the only way to infect a windows PC so you really to
have a solution where the problem is - on the PC. Perimeter AV solutions for
Windows don't go anywhere near solving the problem.

There's http://www.clamwin.com/, or many commercial solutions that aren't
too expensive, AVG do a 'free' home solution.

www.f-prot.com is the one I use at work.

Kapersky is good also....

Anyone have experience with ClamAV? Good, Bad, Ugly?

Should I use something else, or is the only good alternative
pay/expensive (such as avast)?
Am I better at leaving the antivirus stuff to the Windows machine
(which has McAfee Enterprise)?

Background:
System lags occasionally, and has crashed a few times, and is getting
disk errors (both HDs, one IDE, one SATA started this at the same
time). I suspect the motherboard, but can't be certain, could be Mem
or PSU.

Could also be virus.

So, I want to scan my backed up files while reinstalling Windows on
the other machine, before letting them go back home to play.

Thanks
