    In the past this has been the tool of choice for boot scanning when cleaning infected computers for other folks. I give it 10 out of 10. I can’t wait (cough-cough) to tryout the new version.

    I ment to say that another good FREE program from Emsisofts’ is BLTZBANK (http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/blitzblank/) for removing really stubborn infections
