  Virus Checking    
 
There are a number of web sites that will run a Virus Check on your PC.  Some offer quick checks, others more thorough checks (which can take longer).  These sites should not be a replacement for Anti-virus software installed on your PC.  However, for a quick check or temporary solution, they can be useful.
   
  Symantec Anti-Virus

  McAfee Anti-Virus

  Panda Anti-Virus

  Trend Micro

  Windows Live Safety Center
 
 
  Security Checks
