As good as it gets for Windoze 

I use it in linux with the MS hardisk mounted and scan from there.
Yesterday I had a Lappy with Vista with MacAfee and Norton Internet
Security.
 Scanned with ClamAV found 24 Trojans, 
Then with MalwareBytes and found 147 infections of malware, mostly from
someting called "MyWebSearch" 

So as I say 
As good as IT gets
