Default Virus Removal Tools

I figured it was about time to make a new CD with all my anti-everything tools on it.

So, out of curiousity, what are your favorite (free?) anti-virus/spyware/adware/etc. tools?

So far I have Spybot, Ad-Aware, HiJackThis, CWShredder, AVG and avast! Free editions.


P.S-This is mostly for use when other people get royally raped by a virus and ask me to fix it.

I use NOD32 at home, and I love it. But I need free, since it will be for use on borked computers elsewherer.

AVG is the best free anti-virus, hands down.
