You could try the free online scan available at www.trendmicro.com. It's
Vista compatible and very effective in my experience.
On-line scanners are the most unsafe and next to useless. Because by the
time you've started your infected Windows and connected to the
Internet via this infected code base, and start to look for scanning sites
through infected DNS, you are almost certain to have the malware
perfectly positioned to overrule your attempts to clean it. Also, you have
to use IE on very low security setting - ActiveX is required. Many users
will lower security in the Internet Zone to use the service and then forget
to set the Internet Zone back to highest possible security level, which is
the only way that IE should be set.
What happens if active malware is found? Don't expect that the on-line
scanner will do anything about it. Most of them are just just marketing
tools for selling you their products. Quite often, malware removal on the
NT based OS (Win 2K and XP) is far from easy. Sometimes a resident AV can
deal with it in Safe Mode.
David's Multi-AV is safer, because you don't have to be online to use it,
and it can be used in Safe Mode.
