Panda ActiveScan by Panda Software
System Utilities → Security → Anti Virus
Panda ActiveScan is an online scanner that scans your PC for all types of malicious software. It scans your PC completely, checking the memory and all files on disk to find any threat (active or latent) such as viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, dialers, hacking tools, jokes and security risks. The first time you scan your PC, you'll have to download the ActiveX controls (8 MB)....

This really isn't much more than a marketing tool to advertise their commercial products!
Scans, disinfects and eliminates over 185,000 viruses, worms and Trojans from all system devices, hard disks, compressed file and all your email.
If it *can* "disinfect & eliminate" something it isn't likely to be a serious threat in the first place. Dangerous infections usually can't be disinfected at all & can't be removed by an ActiveX process.
Detects spyware. 84 percent of malware installed on computers worldwide is spyware.
Do you know if your PC is spyware free?
Detects the following types of malware:
Dialers, Hacking tools, Rootkits (New), Jokes, Security risks.
Fat lot of good *detecting* it is gonna do, use a FREE program like Spybot that will also *remove* it!
IMHO removing ANY threat is best done in safe mode, offline, with system restore turned off. I neither like nor trust online tools like this although they are a whole lot better than nothing in some circumstances ;)
