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.
