Yes its possible. Firsty connect ur desktop and laptop. share the windows drive(say c:) of laptop. make sure u allow the netork to change settings. For that u have to check both the check boxes while sharing. Now add a network place at ur desktop and give the path of ur shared drive c:. Now go to my computer and add a network drive. (My computer>tool>map network drive.) add the shared one.

Now the c: of ur laptop is just like ur normal drive of desktop. Scan it and get rid of viruses.

Best Of Luck…!

The easiest way would be to creat a local area network (lan) using a router or hub, plug both computers into the hub using cat5 cable (ethernet cable). Then you share all the drives on your laptop by right clicking and choosing share (go through all the security stuff and click ok). Then you go to network places on your desktop and choose show workgroup computers, all the drives from your laptop will appear. Click and drag the files you want to the appropriate drive on your desktop.
