Thank you all for your responses, all of them were very educative.
I will try the solution that involves smbfs and ClamAV and possibly a better solution will be a commercial product like the NOD32 recommendation.
By the way if somebody is following this thread, I am posting here the comments made by others to me directly (without posting to the list) just in case somebody have a similar doubts of how to accomplish this so far.

ClamAV, and I like the GUI KlamAV for it (honestly its the easiest to use even if its KDE dependant)

nstall samba on that linux box. share C:\ (and any other drives) from the PCs. mount them on the linux box using smbmount. now point your AV scanners on the Linux box to the mount point, ie:
clamscan /mount/pc/DesktopPC_1
that should do it.

hi,
if you are using clamav and you want to scan network traffic. You can use snort-inline. For more information chek this site http://snort-inline.sourceforge.net/

Hi Ivan,
I normally use an smbfs mount of the remote machine(s):
i.e:
mount //machine/share dir -t smbfs -o username=whatever,workgroup=domain
E.g.: TO scan the C: drive on machine1 and the share 'share' on machine2:
mkdir -p /mnt/machine1 /mnt/machine2 mount //machine1/c\$ /mnt/machine1 -t smbfs -o username=Administrator,workgroup=mydomain mount //machine2/share /mnt/machine2 -t smbfs -o username=Administrator,workgroup=mydomain clamscan /mnt/machine1 /mnt/machine2 . umount /mnt/machine1 /mnt/machine2
(see man smbmount for more options)
Once mounted you can scan the directories as normal from the linux machnie.

Hi Ivan,
If BitDefender can't do what you need - and you say it can't - then look at a decent AV such as NOD32 that has its Remote Administrator interface that allows you to start scans on remote machines, have a single interface to see the status of NOD32 on all machines across your network, and basically allows full remote management of NOD32 across your network. Oh, and it is a significantly more effective scanner than BitDefender.

Thank again to all . Kind regards. -- Iván Alemán
