I have to agree
MalwareBytes has long standing been the last, and often first line of defense to clean out viruses.

Due to a 'loaded' driver I installed from Canon last month, I had two different infections of the 'fake-av' type viruses. Both times:
Symantec (pre installed and running) didn't do anything, couldn't find it.
Trendmicro Housecall: Couldn't find it.
Spybot: Didn't find it
MalwareBytes: Found it, removed it.

The only only further problem that MalwareBytes couldn't help with, was that the 2nd one, had actually unlinked .exe tags as applications in the registry. As the user had no admin privileges, I've still no clue how the hell it happened, but it happened.

Malwarebytes is definitely the long-standing champ in this field.
