If you want virus scanning for Windows there's none better than NOD32 (
http://www.nod32uk.com)
It's one hell of a well designed virus scanner, you will notice virtually
zero system slowdown and it's packed with features. The yearly subscription
price is hard to beat for what you get.
I suggest you download the free month's trail.
