Microsoft Safety Scanner: Free Virus Scanner and Remover Software for Windows PC
One of the most annoying tasks I suffer is cleaning very well hidden Trojans that infected the computers at the office and at my own computer shop. I’m very much irritated that all current anti-virus and malware protection programs in the market right now, except for Norton Internet Security 2012, are helpless against system-masqueraded Trojans. So instead of wasting hours trying to eradicate nasty camouflaged Trojans, I usually prefer to just reformat the hard drive because it’s quicker and less-frustrating to do so.
Microsoft is giving away for free one very good anti-virus scanner called the Microsoft Safety Scanner for Windows PC owners.
