I interpreted his post as wanting to try different scanners to see if they find anything, and then remove said installed scanners. Leaving no traces of the installed scanners.

Without going the VM route (or connecting the OS drive) to a 2nd machine (or booting a winpe/linux environment) to both clean the system if infected and have no remnants of the scanners installed.

I could be wrong about what he's trying to accomplish.
