That's what VMware is for. ;-)

I'm guessing if I boot up a Linux VM and ask it to install the Linux 
version of the tool, the AV won't know what just hit it. (I don't think 
it scans network traffic, only actual files. On the other hand, maybe it 
will recognise the data in the disk image? But on the first hand, I 
doubt it scans for Linux threats, only Windows ones...)
