I would suggest NOT using the "scan your computer online" options, as a few of them pack your PC with spyware. (Edit: I've never used Panda, and I'm not accusing it of doing so. But better safe than sorry...)

Actually - good point about Panda. It's safe and reliable, generally, but there have been one or two times that a trojan has shown up (detected by AVG) in the Panda program files.
It doesn't happen too often, but even if it does, AVG will remove them before they have a chance to do anythng.
