arty,

All anti virus programs have a better chance of finding and removing an infection if run in safe mode.
Also there is a big difference between an Anti virus program and an Anti spyware/malware program.
Now days you need both types of programs that offer real time protection just to surf worry free.

Most anti virus programs will detect and remove a true virus, it is what they are designed to do.
But they all have trouble detecting and removing spyware/malware or Trojans.

I recommend as one of the best anti spyware/malware programs out there.
As with any program you have to keep it updated, use it properly and regularly for it to do it's job.

As you know I use HijackThis as a detection tool to show what is running and what the registry is loading.
In the spyware removal community HijackThis is what is always used as the first detection tool.
But it takes some time and knowledge to be able to interpret a HijackThis log and know what is good and what is bad.
It is also just as important to know the proper sequence to remove some of the worse infections.

So in conclusion there is no one program that can to it all and with a number of bad infections you need specialized tools to successfully remove that infection.
