Someone handed me that link as I got infected by a virus last week, and its a mighty fine little bit of software. Well worth a punt.

FWIW I removed the virus/trojan/infections with Spyware Doctor, although a few cookies keep coming back

Did you not have AV already installed on your PC then Tom? If you did, which one let it through?

Nod32 seems to be impressing the hell out of me at the moment. I was crusing the seedier end of the interweb the other day for nefarious reasons and nod32 popped up telling me that i was about to download something with a possible 'variant' of some virus... very cool I thought...

Got nod32 which stopped virii from the file that I initially ran, but worringly it didn't prevent me running the file in the first place, and a scan on that file revealed nowt.
