Answer 1

That's a strong combination! You could use free online scanners by the leading security companies. Just go to the website & run the scan. You may have to install a small activeX control. Use at least 1 scan from each group.



Virus scans:

TrendMicro - http://housecall.trendmicro.com

BitDefender - http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html

F-Secure - http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml

Panda-ActiveScan - http://www.pandasecurity.com/activescan/index

ESET - http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/cac4.php?page=details



Spyware scans:

SUPERAntiSpyware - http://www.superantispyware.com/onlinescan.html

a-squared - http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/ax

ewido - http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan

AhnLab - http://global.ahnlab.com/global/products/myspyzero.html

CA - http://www.ca.com/us/securityadvisor/pestscan

PCPitStop - http://www.pcpitstop.com/store/exterminate.asp



Most of these sites require you to use Internet Explorer to run the scans

One thing i want to tell you is that there is no antivirus which is 100% secure. so which one will come good no body can say so as virus definition is quite different in anti virus programs. So I don't think that its useful to have a name for program. Do try with other software available Like AVG which is free and many more with their trial version. and then you can see which one comes good.
