For PC users who know exactly what they need, McAfee Stinger kicks virus butt. After installing, choose where you want to scan for viruses and click the button to "Scan Now." McAfee Stinger looks for 3,000 specific types of infections and eradicates them from your computer. The list of infections will appear as McAfee Stinger is scanning.
McAfee Stinger isn't intended for typical usage (the interface certainly lacks bells and whistles) nor should it replace your full antivirus program. However, with options such as boot sector scanning, it will be a useful tool in the techie's toolbox for getting rid of specific viruses.
