The reasoning is sound – download a single package, perhaps on to a clean computer before transferring it across – but it’s still annoying as it means the tool can’t be downloaded and stored somewhere safe before updating and using. There’s no update facility within it instead the program will expire 10 days after downloading, forcing you to download it afresh before running it.
The download includes all the latest definitions at the point the program was downloaded, hence the large download size.
If any infections are found, the tool will attempt to remove them.Īnd that’s pretty much it. Start with a quick scan, migrating to the full scan if nothing is found and you still don’t trust the results. Just download the correct version (this is the 64-bit version, there’s also a 32-bit version available), then double-click the tool and follow the instructions. Microsoft Safety Scanner is one such tool – it presumably uses the same virus definitions and technologies as Microsoft’s popular Security Essentials package, albeit without any real-time protection. If you don’t want to install another program on your PC, try a portable option: download the program, run the scan, job done. What you need to do is run an anti-malware tool that has scan-and-remove capabilities, but doesn’t offer any realtime protection. The problem is, you can’t just go and install another anti-virus tool, because chances are it’ll conflict with the program already on your system. If your computer is playing up, but your security tool swears blind there’s nothing wrong, you might want to get a second opinion. You can if you want post on the Microsoft Answers forum to see what their experts say.Sometimes you can’t trust your security software to have blocked a specific threat. That is not something to fret over.ĥ, STOP using the MSERT tool already. The failed attempt to upload to Microsoft's Maps system can happen. Instead only go by what the bottom lines are inside the Log itself.Ĥ. You have been advised repeatedly to not count on the on-screen display. "No infection found" in the log IS the true result.ģ.
