If anything try's to change my registry Spybot jumps up and tells me. The drawback is you don't get automatic updates. You have to do them yourself.
This man knows his software. My old company Computer Repair Specialists used exactly this software suite to clean viruses from contaminated systems.
You should all know, we had to drop using Spybot because of issues we had with it. Registry damage and conflicts with other software.
I have not had to think about viruses in 2 years since switching to Linux, so I had forgotten those. Thanks for reminding me.
Note: There are two free virus scanning programs for Linux. Of course they scan for Windows viruses. They are used to avoid infecting your friend's Windows systems. I stopped using them because I simply converted all my friends to Ubuntu.
