ClamAV/other AV. Possible to make portable?

Hey guys/gals,

I work with a large amount of servers, and was just curious if it is possible to make a linux AV app, portable. What i mean is, I go to a user's home directory and do something like ./clamavscan (I suppose an alias for clamscan..), and it scans the user's home directory for viruses/malicious material.

Unfortunately I can not just install Clamav on the server and all the other servers, so I was hoping for the ability to move it around a bit more easily. Er, not sure if this makes sense, but I can definitely clarify if needed!

Well, there is a portable clam version for Windows. Are you suggesting it's easier to go around to each server rather than install a package on all the servers?

Are you having a lot of virus issues on your network or are there just random incidents once in a while?

If it's just a random incident once in a while...the portable manual scan idea would be understandable.
