Personally, I like Avast. It’s definitely gotten rid of some hard-to-kill malware for me with its boot cleaner.

@Dr_Dredd I didn’t know that they had a boot-cd.

It’s not a separate boot cd. You can run a boot-time scan from the main program.

About half-way down is the part that describes the boot-time scan.

i use a bootable thumb drive. CD boot is such a thing of the past :D

I boot up Symantec’s recovery tool
