Thumbs up New! Windows Live Safety Center!

I'm not quite sure how many people know about this but Windows live (what most of the msn products are turning into) has opened a safety center. A lot of the scans it offers to do are things that are already on ur system (defrag, disk cleanup) but i have run a full system scan and it has picked up things that my other scanners didnt! The scans take a while, but you don't need to be signed up. Its worth a look and the UK version can be found at http://safety.live.com/site/en-gb/default.htm
Or by going on http://www.live.com/ and going on learn more.
This probably aint the best online AV scanner out there but it worked for me!
PS: still in Beta, but isnt almost every Microsoft product now!

Can't say I'm a real big fan of this one, there are alot better free alternatives but it is a nice all in one thing for novice users though.
