Here's a few virus removal tools, that are certainly worth keeping on hand. Now they don't replace your current AV, but more so can be used to remove malicious content that your Antivirus failed to detect.
Most are portable editions, meaning there's no Installation required, just execute and you're good to go. They can be run alongside your extsing Antivirus product.
They're from reputable websites, hence no need for online virus scan reports and are available as a freeware download.
