I run trend micro house call and also use Sophos anti bootkit to try to look for nasties that try that sort of trick.
I'll book mark the other URL's for other scanners. I am also using Kingsoft PC Doctor which supposedly has malware detection/elimination built in, amongst a number of other belle sansd whstles that supposedly make computers faster.
