Some of you may like to try the scanning software discussed here ... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/02/08/se...r_shortcomings/.

As a 'second opinion' from several AV providers it does what it says on the tin. It's very light weight, cloud based and the scan is extremely quick.

Scanning is always free, and there's a 30 day free removal period, but thereafter if you at least get a positive identified you can always find something else to remove it.

The two machines I scanned came up clean so I don't think it's something that's going to throw loads of false positives at you.

Have a look at this review about Hitman Pro 3.5 from Raymond.cc: http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2009/1...alware-scanner/. I don't think I would really want to use this program. It's a great concept though!

Hmmm thanks. It's a few builds on from that review, but it doesn't exactly fill you with confidence does it. Yet the article that I linked from seems to suggest it wasn't shy in sussing out malware. As you say it's a good concept ... think I'll keep an eye out for further reviews.
