that's it.

When friends bring me laptops to fix up, I dd copy the disk and mess with the 
copy. I throw everything on the internet at it. I find Malwarebytes and 
Kaspersky the two that do the best job.

Till not too long ago, Kaspersky was one of the top "usual suspects" in 
anti-virus/anti-spyware tools. The US govt is peeved that Kaspersky did a good 
job in picking up malware recently and is now being a bully about it.

I can't think of a better recommendation for Kaspersky.
