Identify and protect your computer from the the latest online threats

windows-grab.gifComputer security is a constant issue, and something all users are aware of. Malicious software has many disguises and can be distributed in a number of ways, making it increasingly difficult for most security tools to identify. Many security 'suites' claim to provide complete protection, often shipping there products with fairly useless utilities. Usually though, all that's wanted is a functional, non obtrusive security application not a bulky, ineffective 'security suit'.

Microsoft Malicious Software Removal tool 2.3 is a freeware utility that enables you to identify the very latest threats to your Windows operating system. Use it to manually run scans, and view the results in a full screen report. By using the Microsoft website you can ensure you are equipped with the latest version.
