How can I download an antivirus on Linux?

I have a Linux live CD I’m currently using due to some evil virus that wont let me start up my PC or even boot to safe Mode. My question is how can I download an antivirus? I’d like to check over the infected hard drive and see if it can help anything. When I try to download anything, it always say’s chose the program to run the file. I dont know what to run it with. I am using Knoppix. The OS also wont let me install flash etc seems it’s being blocked or disabled. I cant view You Tube or other videos either. It’s a nifty system but it seems to have limitations?

Please help computer people my computer won’t boot not even into dos or live cd?

I was on slax live cd and I started partitioning the drive but accidentally erased the only partition on the computer (windows had stopped booting and I wanted to install slax onto my hd). Now nothing will boot not even the ultimate boot cd it says: disk error BB, Ax + 4280 drive 82. Can I do anything to boot into dos and finish using fdisk to partition for linux? Not even my live cds will boot anymore.
Yes, it is set to boot from cd and it’s too old to boot from USB drive. Because there is no working partition it won’t boot anything. How do I restore mbr? (dell latitude C600).
