**MIG-31** · Jan 11, 2005, 03:01 PM

Microsoft's new tool named "Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool" is an extension of the previous tools that Microsoft have released. Over the past year or two Microsoft have released removal tools for viruses such as Blaster. Like McAfees Stinger tool Microsoft's tool will scan a system for viruses and will remove them in one foul swoop. The company plans to update the tool monthly on the same day (second Tuesday) as Microsoft delivers security updates.
