Re: Virgin Media Internet Security
I use Spyhunter 4 as a last line of defence if my regular AV software lets something through. It has never failed me. It will even remove nasties from your boot sector. It will cost you though. £25.00 HERE

As for a virus/trojan, the only way to be 100% sure that its gone, is a reinstall of the OS from clean sources. However, for most people, Malwarebytes does an excellent job of cleaning a system. I've found the free version of Malwarebytes able to remove stuff that my full, paid-for version of KIS2011 can't.
I have never used Malwarebytes, but you are right, it gets good reviews.

I also agree with what you say about VMS, even its improved version. Like many I just use MS Security Essentials and then have something really robust ready to run, just in case. SpyHunter is my preference.
