Can anyone recommend a virus utility that opens up pst files and scans it
for viruses?

I have a hard drive full of pst files that I need to scan through.

Inside PSTs? I'm not sure. What are you concerned you'll find? Make sure you
are running good antivirus software (current generation, kept updated
regularly) and go to town opening up the PST files.

Viruses in PSTs should pretty much be dormant until the attachment
containing them is actually decoded from the MIME and written to disk. In
order for a virus scanner to detect viruses embedded in PSTs, you'll have to
open each one and scan each attachment.
