Malwarebytes AntiMalware is another product, often available free, that seems pretty thorough.

Subject: [PCSOFT] virus?
I believe I may have downloaded a trojan or virus. I ran a somewhat suspicious program recently, and I received a warning something like this "there is a file on your computer "c:/program" this could cause some programs not to function properly. Renaming it to "program1" will fix this problem." I was also having internet issues partially caused by internet protection software of mine. I deleted the file, restarted, and had no issues, the file has not reappeared yet. If it is malware, at least it's poorly written. None of my software has detected malware though. I use SUPERantispyware, Spyware Doctor, Spybot S&D, and msse. I also have Panda Cloud AV installed, but disabled it's start-up because it seems resource intensive. Any advice?
