McAfee now offers a free online virus scan to anyone with an internet connection. All you need to do is go to the site here and let it download an ActiveX control to you computer and install it. You will then have a choice of what you want to scan. You can pick your hard drive, My Documents or just Windows files.
The scan will run and will display what files are being scanned and how many threats it has found. It will also show a list of infected files. Just make sure to disable any your anti virus programs auto protect before doing the scan and don't forget to turn it back on when finished. The scan will take about 30 minutes depending on how many files you have and what type of scan you run.
When its completed it will give you a status report about what it found or didn't find including the number of files scanned.
