Greetings,
     I just wrote this up a few weeks ago, it takes virtually ALL of the
'teaching' out of it. Plus, it catches rootkits that antivirus on an
already-infected machine won't.
     First, make an x86 Windows PE boot
disk<http://www.windowspcguy.net/?p=71>using the WAIK, then mount it
and drop this into \Program
Files\virusscan.cmd on the mounted WIM:

@ECHO OFF

X:

CD "X:\Program Files"

ECHO Downloading current Microsoft Security Scanner...

curl\curl.exe -o msert.exe
http://definitionupdates.microsoft.com/download/definitionupdates/safetyscanner/x86/msert.exe

ECHO Launching Microsoft Security Scanner in 'full scan, auto-clean' mode...
msert.exe /F:Y

You'll also need to drop
'curl<http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcurl.haxx.se%2Fdownload.html&ei=MB_MTtyHBIPs0gG9wOlF&usg=AFQjCNGOA7uUhSy27VWAZHBgnVxpxizMqQ>'
into \Program Files\

For the quick and dirty: This is a script you put on a boot disk that
downloads the latest Security Scanner from Microsoft and runs it in 'full'
mode. Using a read-only boot disk or removing the drive and scanning it on
a known-clean computer are the only ways to really be confident that your
'antivirus sweeps' are removing entrenched rootkits.

To launch it, you boot to the boot disk, then run 'X:\Program
Files\virusscan.cmd'
