Never rely on any online versions of any anti-virus system. Several
viruses that I've seen had pushed the infected PC off the internet and
let viruses in. Always use locally installed anti-virus systems.

I've been quite happy with AVAST (http://www.avast.com/), and GriSoft's
AVG (http://www.grisoft.com/) is quite good, as well. Both have free
versions for personal use.
