Running virus scans is a waste of time. If you believe its compromised 
wipe the drive and flash the bios. I don't mean just format and install 
either. Write zeros (maybe more than once) to the harddrive. Make sure 
the MBR does not survive. Do not backup anything! if you have something 
that you absolutely cannot do with out, I don't mean MP3's either, then 
back that up to a cd and label it clearly and scan only that, more than 
once with multiple antivirus scanners, rootkit scanners, use windows and 
Linux antivirus scanners and rootkit hunters. if these are something for 
which you have a checksum then makesure that it matches the original no 
matter what or shred it. Yes i mean physically shred or otherwise 
destroy the cd. If the the files fail a single test, consider them 
tainted and destroy them. Flash the bios because there are viruses that 
will compromise the BIOS, these will be cross platform, they will affect 
any machine with any OS. Make sure that any external drives that have 
ever come into contact with the infected machine get the same treatment. 
Wipe it completely clean!
