Microsoft's AntiSpyware isn't nessisarily a virus remover.
I use VET, personally, but AVG is also a good application for removal and detection (it caught a nasty worm just before it was installed, sheesh, close call.)
If you have a bit of money lying in your undies drawer, dish it out on Norton AntiVirus, but free alternatives are always good.

Ad-aware is not a virus remover; it just kills adware and comp.-lagging stuff, and maybe some spyware. What you want is some good and free AVG.

My powerful-proven combo of 4: avast!, ZoneAlarm, Ad-Aware SE Personal and Spybot - Search & Destroy.

When together, they're almost invincible.

Avast! is quite good(Despite being a bit.. OMGVIRUSWTF drama-queenish) Trendmicro has a free online scanner called housecall, I also recommend it highly. Personally I'm using a mcafee internet security suite but if you decide to get it, don't buy online. They have a [CENSORED]ty download policy where you can only download it 30 days after your purchase, and you have to pay extra to extend your download.

Ad-Aware is a spyware removal tool, it wont do you any good against viruses, but I recommend getting it anyway. The internet is full of gunk these days.

Indeed, there was a time when the internet was a tiny military network, and internet viruses and spyware were non-existant. But this is a story for another time, my son. :o
I dont like AVG. The first time I tried it, it automatically deleted loads of .exes in my
Windows directory instead of simply cleaning the virus.. Don't trust that sonna[CENSORED] no more :'(

Correction: It found 398 SPYWARE registration keys, which AVG didn't find because it's a FREAKING VIRUS SCANNER. Likewise, if you rely on Ad-Aware to scan for viruses, you will not find any because it's a FREAKING SPYWARE SCANNER.

I should have said, Ad-Aware SE Personal used in conjunction with McAfee. McAfee to keep virus-type shiite out and SE to sweep the spyware-type shiite. If you think 398 spyware files is a lot, the first tiem I used SE it found over a thousand nasty files on my comp, plus another couple hundred negligable files. You'd be surprised how much garbage gets in.

Avast! is great, it has caught many a virus on the way in, and it doesn't take up a ton of space and resources like norton, and it's free.
