Malicious Software Removal Tool

Posted on Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 4:11 pm

The last couple of days there was quite some news about new viruses and malicious software and if you’re running any of the Windows versions, Microsoft has a new tool you should download and use regularly, even if your computer seems to be fine.

The Malicious Software Removal Tool scans your computer and removes viruses and malicious software (malware) and gives you a report of the results once it’s been run. And best of all: it’s totally FREE!

I recommend you to use also up-to-date antivirus software to help protect your computer from other malicious software. 

As I said before, Even if you already have security software, you should be using this great little tool. It took me about 5 minutes on my XP system to download and run it.
For all the people who’s using FF (FireFox), Make sure you open it with IE (Internet Explorer).

You can download it here for free from Microsoft’s site.
