No one Antivirus is "Better" than another.  They all have their faults and each one will develop a new signature before or after another..  You need a layered approach of defense.  I would scan the HD with either an uninfected machine, OR an online scanner such as TrendMicro Housecalls (nothing installed on your machine to mess up because your infected).

One important thing is the fact that you should completely update the Operating System and ALL of the patches PRIOR to connecting the external to your computer.  If your machine is patched for the vulnerability on the HD, then YOU cannot get infected.  It is the more proactive approach (patching your machine, keeping your software updated, using the most current firmware and drivers).  AV is ALWAYS reactive!
