Hey ya Richard. Your probably talking about Inoculate AV. They were free and had updates pretty much everyday. But they are now a Pay service.

The one Dave listed above is the only true free service that I know of and they have really upgraded their service where their not bad at all.. Give it a try....

Richard, your welcome. I hope you like AVG... I dont like some of the Optionless stuff in it, but it does seem to be pretty decent...

Dave, I haven't found a way yet of being able to just scan One drive. When it comes up it wants to scan C: drive, then D: drive. That is aggrevating to me. I hardly ever use C: drive anymore, so D: is the one I need checked.... A bit of a pain...

Hi Dodge - When you start AVG, click on the Tests Menu and select Custom Test. Click on My Computer and all your drives should now be visible. Just put a check next to the drive you want to scan and click Start.
