Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool


The new diseases spread rapidly especially if people are not protected against them. When a new disease appears it affects people a lot because they do not have anitbodies developed to protect them and distroy the viruses. Look what happened with the swine flu: it spread rapidly and affected people from all over the world. And this is no new thing; the same thing happened with the flu who killed a big part of the nativeĀ  Americans when the Europeans first came to the New World. That is exactly what happens with our computers when a new computer virus is spread in the cyber space: our computers are not potected from them and that is where we, the users and masters, must interfere. We are the ones to provide the medicine or the antidote, that is the malicious software removal tool.

Microsoft, as a respectable and great computer company developed a kind of weapon against malicious software , called Microsoft malicious software removal tool , that is able to identify and "remove", that is destroy all the malicious software detected on the computer where it is installed. It is designed especially for Windows operating systems ( Windows 2000, XP, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows server 2003 ) and cannot help the other operating systems that run on computers all over the world. It can be downloaded for free from the official web site of Microsoft, www.microsoft.com and installed on your computer where it acts like a shield, protecting it from malware. After all the logo of this tool looks like a shield coloured in the traditional Microsoft colours,as you can see in the picture above. Microsoft also offers permanent updates for the Microsoft malicious software removal tool, usually once a month, every second Tuesday. You are strongly advised to update the Microsoft malicious software removal tool installed on your computer as there are new viruses appearing every single day.

In fact the main job of this software is to quickly scan the system and find if any malware has penetrated it. If it can find some, it will remove it and then send you a short report about its latest activity. The software runs quietly in the background of the system and only reacts when it detects some malicious software. This software is only scanning for the most powerful and well-known computer viruses and cannot replace a strong antivirus software, but it rather completes it. An antivirus software scans for all kinds of malware, not only for the most important ones and it offers protection and removal instruments. Even if Microsoft malicious software removal tool is usually acting in an automatic way and makes a quick scan after you download it and install it on your computer, you can also set up the in depth scanning manually if you feel there is something wrong and need to find out if some bad viruses entered your computer. After the complete scanning of the system, the software will remove any files that are considered to be malicious, according to their identification with the viruses data base which is permanently updated. In the end you will be notified of all the actions performed on your computer the next time you open it.

Microsoft Corporation decided to release this product on the market at the beginning of the year 2005 with the purpose of protecting the users who do not own an antivirus yet. it was meant more for the individual users rather than for corporations, as big corporations always have very strong anovirus software installed on their servers. It is a kind of helful tool for the personal use of the people who do not own such antivirus software under licence. It is , like I said, very helpful in finding and deleting the big malicious threats, but it is useless in the case of unknown or little known malware, as it relies only on the virus data base, while the antivirus software has additional tools for identifying such harmful software.



Free Download Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool 3.3 is the latest version of this Microsoft product a-updated in january 2010 and can also be downloaded for free on www.softsea.com as freeware. It is appreciated by people who used it as some very useful and efficient software that protects your computer from getting harmed. Even if it is not considered to be the strongest protection software , it can detect such prevalent malicious programmes like Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom.



In conclusion you should always use this kind of programme ( if you are a Windows user, of course) in addition to a strong useful antivirus software because you must always keep your computer protected from any malware you can come across on the internet. The internet is the proper environment for releasing computer viruses and other malware and they rapidly spread by any means : emails, apparently harmless software, adds, attachments and so on. So it is strongly recommended to have your computer system scanned frequently, even if it seems to work just fine, as some of these malicious software can't be detected as easily and they do not affect the overall functioning of the computer and you only detect them when it is too late. So it is better to be safe than sorry and have our computer safe than have no antivirus software installed and risk losing all the data on the hard drive or any such unpleasant consequences of the infection with a computer virus or other kind of malicious software.
