Both A-Squared and Edwido have free versions. I am not familiar with A-Squared, so I don't know if it's the same installation or not.
With Edwido it is, it is just that you will need to change the settings to act as a stand-alone on-demand scanner. Read quietman7's directions on this site for how to configure and use Edwido in this way. You will need real-time protection. There are many options available. There is an excellent list provided here.
