1. No anti-virus system detects everything.

Running a different scanner every now and then can be a good thing. However, having multiple anti-virus systems installed is a very bad thing.

Of course, if you have malware on your box, then a remover does come in handy.

3. Try Malwarebytes anti-malware

http://www.malwarebytes.org/lp/malware_lp/?utm_source=adcenter&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=malwarebytes%20and%20anti%20malware%2B%7C%2Bmalwarebytes%20anti%20malware&utm_campaign=Search%3A%20Brand%20-%20US&utm_content=1333723430

You can set it up so that it doesn't load at startup and only runs a scan when requested .
