http://housecall.trendmicro.com

That's the one I always recommend.
$6.75 the hard way-one quarter at a time.

I also use AVG.  I, personally, haven't had any problems........yet.
You mean I can type anything I want in here and it will show up?

'online' rules out AVG, AFAIK.

For indidiual files - http://www.virustotal.com/en/indexx.html

For system scans, the previously mentioned ones.
