Microsoft Malicious software Removal Tool is a utility that checks your computer for infection by malicious software and helps remove them. It can remove several types of infection such as those by ‘Sasser’, ‘MyDoom’, ‘Blaster’ etc.
If you are using the PC in a LAN environment, then you will know that such type of infections are quite common there. If one PC gets infected, the infection/virus can spread to other PCs quickly over the network. This tool will help you get rid of those unwanted programs. It is also updated on a regular basis by Microsoft and already contains protection for a number of viruses
This tool is not a replacement for your Antivirus software, but you can use it as a supplement along with it. It supports Vista, XP, 2000 and 2003 Server.
Nice. As long as it is free and updated, I guess there is no harm trying it out
