Default EMERGENCY - Infected system can't fix - does portable AV exist?

Not sure if this is the right NG. One of my dual-boot systems is infected
with win32.jeffo and it took out comodo's firewall & defense as well as
Threatfire & PC Tools AV. WinXP side won't boot and now the Vista side is
infected too. As aggressive as this appears to be, I don't think it would be
a good idea to connect the HD's to the other computer in attempt to clean
it. Any advice on how to handle this or does a portable AV exist? Thanks for
any suggestions.

Thanks, running it now. It looks like every exe on my system has been
infected. I guess I'll have to re-install all my apps. It's going to be a
long day. In case it ever happens again, would it have been safe to map the
drives in the clean system?
