Malicious Software Removal Tool

Thanks for your help. I'm going to try Microsoft Safety Scanner. I'll check with my antivirus service ESET Smart Security to make sure there are no issues between their services and Safety Scanner. It aooears that Sadety Scanner covers more then Malicious
Software Removal Tool. I need to make sure Automatic Updates is on so it weill automatically run the Malicious Software Removal Tool once a month on last Tuesday. I can compliment that with Safety Scanner.

thanks again

Malicious Software Removal Tool only detects some of well-known malwares and
not all malwares. For this reason, I recommend you run Safety Scanner instead:
