Sure I wouldn't think that it's impossible, you might have to just end up installing lots of commercial antivirus software on it (e.g. AVG because sadly Clam AV isn't perfect yet).<br><br>I can't think of any dedicated anti spyware apps though.<br>

I often repair PCs for friends. One reoccurring problem, from one particular friend, is viruses and malware out the wazoo. I recently had to pull the hard drive, attatch it via usb to my Linux box, and clamav it. Clam found 80 or so infections and removed them. Wonderful. When I reassembled the thing, all hell broke loose. I had to run malwarebytes, ccleaner, spybot, and avira to finally remove the other 150 plus infections (including Antivirus 2010 and Security Tool). Is it possible to create a Linux environment that would have the functionality to do this in one step? Oh, and just for the record I'm not kidding, over 230 infections.<br>
