New Microsoft Security Tools
Microsoft has introduced new tools for better securing PCs.
- Microsoft AntiSpyware - A spyware detection/removal tool just like Ad-Aware and Spybot. I can definitely say that no one spyware removal tool is good enough. I have been using Ad-Aware and spybot. I will also start using Microsoft tool from now on. It is good and it did detect a couple of spyware that were not detected by Ad-Aware. It also features online updates just like the rest.
The tool is still in beta, but very stable. I have been using it for about 3-4 days and I haven't had any issues with it. You can download it directly from Microsoft AntiSpyware - Windows® Malicious Software Removal Tool - Another small tool from Microsoft that can be used to detect and remove Malicious Software like Blaster, Sasser, Mydoom and a few more. I think Microsoft has planned to release a version of the tool every month. Check it out at Malicious Software Removal Tool. The PC can be scanned either by downloading the tool (very small in size) or through an online scan.

I have updated the download link to a direct download link from Microsoft's site. Now you don't have to go though the windows validation s**t. I downloaded the s/w directly from the link and it directly installed the software.
