Please help to get such tool.

I'm not aware of any AV product that works without being installed on the client. I can think of some ways you could detect malware on your network...

  • Run the AV scanner against a shared file system e.g. the windows C$ share.
  • Use a network-based IDS e.g. snort to look for virus/trojan signatures on the network
  • Scan hosts for malware services e.g. trojan ports, mail/irc relays

None of these are going to stop the clients getting infected, this will only detect infection after the event.

The only reason that Angry IP scanner can work is that it is looking for what services are listening on the target host/s.
A lot of viruses/malware don't listen on the target host/s; and I would guess that most worms are not following usual protocols, so scanning infected hosts with listening ports is not going to give you reliable results.
There's at least one tool I know of which does what you want, but it only does it for one worm: eEye/Retina's Sapphire SQL Worm Scanner.  I think they did one for Nimda also.

You could also use something like Kaspersky's online scanner

Not the worlds best option, but possibly better than  nothing.

nmap should be capable of doing this with the nmap scripting engine (NSE). Might be a steeper learning curve than some of the vendor tools out there.

I'm about to checkout the new nmap text, let me know if you peruse it. It looks good.

If you're looking for specific exploits or certain traffic, you can always resort to some fancy Ethereal filters. I used that when some of the clients I had were infected with the Welchia/Nachi/MSBlast worm.
