Hmmm.  Yes, I work with computers (but so does everyone, including the accounting staff down the hall).   

Almost all of the major vendors have good products.  I've used McAfee Stinger recently.  No need to pay just for a scan tool, the free ones do very well, and is a good approach if the local A/V got turned off or corrupted.  The manufacturer web sites are also very good about providing information on how to get rid of some of the more "well written" virus/malware programs.

I do have a BS/MS in Computer Science along with a degree in Business Administration, but there are plenty of people on the street with greater detail knowledge of desktop stuff than me.
