malware.

[Hardware/OS/Installed Applications] with results delivered in less then two
minutes.
Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 - designed to scan, disinfect and restore
infected operating systems. It should be used when it is impossible to boot the
operating system.
Microsoft Safety Scanner - the Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free
downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove
viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing

F-Secure Easy Clean 1.2 - it is good to have an alternative scanner
because no antivirus tool will detect 100% of threats.
