Trick for speeding up virus removal

Premise: Deleting files is faster than scanning them (especially multiple times)

You can speed up virus removal by running a program such as CCleaner before running any scanners. CCleaner removes a large number of useless and potentially infected files.  By decreasing the total number of files that your cleaning programs have to go through you will decrease the length of scans. The more scans that you plan to run the more time you will save if you choose this approach.

Make sure to check the recycle bin before running, some people like to leave surprisingly important stuff in there.
