Checks and removes viruses and malware
Windows Live has launched a free on-demand tool which will help computer users to keep their machines virus- and malware free.
Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner, which is available to Windows Live users, is a free tool that conducts three different types of scan of computers.
The Protection Scan checks for and removes viruses and malware; the Clean-up Scan checks the hard disk for unnecessary files and helps users decide which ones they can safely delete. It also clears the PC’s registry of left over data.
The Tune-up Scan helps improve the PC’s performance by defragmenting the hard drive.
The Safety Scanner is available from Microsoft's Safety Centre.
