Microsoft has just released a program called Microsoft Safety Scanner, a free
on-demand
virus scanner for the Windows operating system.The Microsoft
Safety Scanner is a free
downloadable security tool that provides on-demand
scanning and helps remove viruses,
spyware, and other malicious software.
It works with your existing antivirus software.
Main task of that program is:-
To run a virus scan on a Windows system. The core difference to conventional antivirus
software is the fact that it scans the PC but does not add protection to
the operating
system at the same time.
Mostly use the on-demand scanner to verify that their operating system is
clean
of
viruses and other forms of malware.The best benefit of this approach
is
twofold that is:-
* First, they can run Microsoft Safety Scanner next to any installed
antivirus
or security software on the system. This is obviously better than having
to
uninstall one antivirus program to run another, as there are often incompatibilities
or problems involved when running multiple virus scanners on a system.
*The second is the ability to scan the system for malicious software without
thinking
about configuration of the program, or making sure that it is up to date.
The software is using virus information from Microsoft’s Malware Protection center.
The program can be started right after downloading or transferring it to a
Windows PC.
Only the depths of the scan needs to be selected, everything
else is handled
automatically by the application.
You can run a 1)Quick Scan 2)Full Scan 3)Custom Scan.
1). In quick scan will check the most likely areas on the system for malicious code
like viruses, spyware or computer worms.
2). In full scan on the other hand will scan every single file plus the memory and the Registry.
3). In custom scan finally scans a user selected folder or drive.
It is not auto-updating and will automatically expire after ten days.Means you have
to be
download every ten days a new to use it.This restriction make the program unsuitable
otherwise it is much better program than other.
