Online AV scanner - http://safety.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm .
It uses the same signatures as OneCare and is a superset of MRT.

I never use them.I mean I never use AVG and AVAST.

I never install them on clients computers although most of them have heard
of them.If someone wants cheap and good AV ,let him/her get F-prot.
