Virus checker needed off Computer. (1 Viewer)

I re-formatted my drive 3 days ago and the first thing I did was to download the AVG programme.

Yesterday I posted a photo in the Moths Forum and not long after Harry Eales replied with this.

"I have just clicked onto your Thorn picture and got an immediate Virus warning that the file (your picture) was infected with an 'Exploit' jpeg Virus."

Another member had clicked into the same photo without a problem.

AVG isn't showing a problem on my system but I'm sure that not too long ago I came across a programme on the Internet that allows you to check your system and clean it up from outside your computer. In other words you run the scan and clean up any infected files straight from the Internet.

Do any of you guys know of such a programme?
