I used Avira and Kaspersky virus removal tool. I have now install
Kaspersky Internet Security and it is still runniing. I have over
500Gb spread over 3 hard disks and multiple Windows instances (but
only one of them has been active for the last few months). I am still
running KIS 2010 but the scan is not complete.
