Microsoft, which just released its antispyware software a few days ago, released its long brewing antivirus software yesterday (January 11). Microsoft has named this anti-virus software titan (Sun God) and intends to release the updated version of the software, even more frequently, on the company's monthly security update (the second Tuesday of the month). Below, please follow the author together to see Microsoft launched the first anti-virus software.

The Malicious Software Removal Tool tool detects a handful of specific and popular malicious programs, such as Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom above XP systems, and can help remove discovered infection files. Can be seen malicious Software removal Tool is a good virus kill tool, think that with Microsoft's further updates to its virus library, you can eliminate more malicious programs.

The Microsoft antivirus software can be obtained from the following three ways:
1, Microsoft Download Center provides download
2. Update via Windows Update and auto Update (must be enabled)
3, as an ActiveX control in the Www.microsoft.com/malwareremove to provide downloads

  Second, the use of software

The author is able to download the Microsoft Download Center installation files, files only 260K size, file download completed, double-click Run, then pop-up "End User License Agreement" window (as shown in Figure 1).

When you choose to accept and click Next, the tool will briefly scan the system (this is understandable, because the tool only checks several viruses, just look for a few areas affected by the virus), and then pops the Scan completion window (as shown in Figure 2) and clicks on a virus name in the window. You can get information about malware. The final click is done, and if you have a virus in your system, it will be erased.


Three, comments

Because it is Microsoft just released the first anti-virus software, its virus library is not very complete, this version of the antivirus software, not so much as antivirus software is more appropriate to kill virus specifically. At the same time, the author in the use of the process, from the Start menu to find Control Panel, have not found its shortcuts, only in the system disk in the Debug directory found a MRT.log log file, so inconvenient to use, kill hope in the future version can be improved.
