HEED DAMIAN'S WARNING!! Dustin claims to be a virus writer, do you
want to take the chance?
Or, you could take the advice of someone who does use his real name, and
has reviewed much software. See here:

Specifically this section of interest (and I quote):
BugHunter is an antispyware tool to assist in finding and removing
malicious software, often called "malware" (some browser & desktop hi
jacking programs, including keyloggers, adware modules, spyware modules,
trojans & dialers). This is a tiny DOS utility that scans your computer
and reports, and/or removes, instances of malware. You can use this
program within Windows but, occasionally, it cannot remove some malware
without being used in DOS. You can put it in a bootable floppy disk (or
CD) and launch it from pure DOS, but normally it can be used from within
Windows (up to and including Windows XP) to track down and delete or
rename the vast majority of malware. BugHunter works from a list of over
1,000 malicious files (EXE files, VB files, OCX, files, DLL files, etc)
and the author has promised to update that list regularly. Of course, if
a malware file isn't on the list it won't get flagged but it will still
get all the ones that are on the list. Scanning is not fast and you can
expect to be waiting some 15 minutes while it scans your computer (time
depends on how many files it has to check). The opening screen (a DOS box
under Windows) offers a choice of 4 options – scan for malware only, scan
for malware and rename it, scan for malware and remove it, and exit. Make
your choice by typing in the appropriate letter (A, B, C or Q). Initially
we just scanned our system using BugHunter and 27 malware files were
found. We believe that these were simply left over DLLs from previous
programs which were removed from the computer and they were not active
(there was no program to launch them). This initial scan did not name
these 27 files, and the scan took just over 11 minutes. We then went to
option C on the list, scan and remove, and it reported that 27 files were
found, and 27 were deleted. This second scan took just over 9 minutes.
BugHunter is an excellent tool and one that all Internet users with PCs
should run regularly. We were disappointed that it did not name the
"suspect" files, or that it did not give us the option of deleting some
and not others. It would have been easy to include a Pause with an
instruction to wait for the user to either skip, delete or rename the
file before proceeding. This places the control back in the hands of the
user and, if there is any question about a suspect file, its name could
be searched through the Internet (Googled) to see what was written about
it. Alternatively you can simply do a scan and then check the logfile for
the files targeted. BugHunter is a "must have" for all PC users. Grab a
copy now! Note: even though this is a DOS program, it is suitable for
Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME and Windows
XP (and possibly later versions too). Access this 62kB download from: DOS
