Probably not. I'd recommend Avast for something like that. If you REALLY need it I can send a secure replacement copy of Space Cadet Pinball. Important stuff...

Antivirus software isn't very effective these days because of how fast new viruses and malware are created. Treat it like inoculation: it prevents infection from known diseases, but won't protect against new ones.
If antivirus software says something is clean, it just means that it was unable to detect anything it knows of. It may still contain something dangerous but currently unknown.
You're right to be careful. There is no tool that will keep you 100% safe.
