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!
