I consider Trend Micro Housecall a first-line defense standard when
dealing with any kind of malware or virus detection. (along with
Malwarebytes.)
Microsoft has also, recently, added a couple of online scanners.

Hi Folks,
We've been using MalwareBytes and Spybot Search & Destroy for periodic
full-system scans to detect malware. We don't use them for real-time
defense; we have Avast for that.
Lately, on machines where MalwareBytes will pick up one or two items,
Spybot has not been detecting anything except the same tracking
cookie. I had been thinking about ditching it for a while, and then
today discovered that the 1.6.2 version no longer detects any pattern
updates. The 2.x version does, but it is bloatware and a PITA to
configure--and in the end, it doesn't find anything unless you
configure it to detect things that no anti-malware in its right mind
should detect.
So I am looking for a new option for periodic full-system scans.
SuperAntiSpyware seems to get good reviews. Does anyone here have an
opinion on it?
Are there other options I should consider for free
anti-spyware/malware system-scans?
Thanks very much.
