I just use 1a and 1b .
1a) ShieldsUP!
This site has been most well-known for its FREE ShieldsUP! Internet security test. Crucial as it is to protect yourself from malicious Crackers outside, those bad guys represent only half of the threat. The Internet has proven to be an extremely fertile transportation medium for all manner of nasty Trojan horse programs, rapidly proliferating viruses, and privacy invading commercial spyware. As a result, it is no longer true that all of the potential problems reside outside the computer.
1b )Trend Micro - Free online virus Scan
2) Panda ActiveScan – Free online antivirus to combat viruses
3) BitDefender Free Online Virus Scan
4) Symantec Security Check
5) Free online Trojan Scanner - Scan your system for Trojans
6) Free Virus Scan - Kaspersky Lab
