The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool checks Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 computers for and helps remove infections by specific, prevalent malicious software—including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom. When the detection and removal process is complete, the tool displays a report describing the outcome, including which, if any, malicious software was detected and removed. The tool creates a log file named mrt.log in the %WINDIR%debug folder.

This tool will help to remove specific, prevalent malicious software from infected systems. Because computers can appear to function normally when infected, Microsoft advises you to run this tool even if your computer seems to be fine. In addition to using this tool, you should use an up-to-date antivirus product to help protect your computer from other malicious software.

This tool is not a replacement for an anti-virus product. To help protect your computer, you should use an anti-virus product.

The user must be an administrator to run this tool. This tool will not run on any version of Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows NT 4.0.

There are some threats that impersonate legitimate programs, modify browsers or the boot screen graphics, and even redirect traffic. Our standard scanners necessarily have a delicate balance between effective malware detection and removal and erroneously removing legitimate files. Sometimes, these “scareware” programs can require special tactics to remove them. With the Norton Power Eraser tool, these threats (and others) are specifically targeted, and thus are effectively detected and removed.

You should use the Norton Power Eraser tool when nothing else will remove an annoying program and you are willing to accept a higher risk that the scanner may quarantine a legitimate program.

Because the Norton Power Eraser uses aggressive methods to detect these threats, there is a risk that it can select some legitimate programs for removal. You should use this tool very carefully, and only after you have exhausted other options.

Returnil Virtual System 2010 Home Free 3.1.7704.5170

RVS 2010 is a completely new product that uses a combination of antivirus, antimalware and a virtual system to protect your computer from all types of viruses and other malicious threats.

RVS 2010 uses an advanced anti-malware and virtualization technology. It clones (copies) your operating system and creates a virtual environment for your PC.

Instead of loading the native operating system, a clone is loaded that allows you to run your applications and perform your online activities in an entirely isolated environment. In this manner, your actual operating system is never affected by viruses, Trojans, malware and other malicious threats.

To return to the actual operating system environment, you just need to restart your PC. While working in the virtual environment, you have the option of saving documents and files so that your data will not be lost when the system is restarted.

Features:

Virus Guard (Antivirus):

  • Detects and removes malware and other malicious threats
  • On demand system virus scan
  • Define your own exclusion list from the virus scan

System Safe (Virtual System):

  • Clones (copies) the operating system and runs the cloned copy in a virtual machine
  • Allows easy on-the-fly real-time system protection
  • Reduces or eliminates the need for routine disk de-fragmentation

Virtual Disk:

  • Ability to create and mount an alternate virtual disk/partition
  • Saved files and other data will be retained after a restart
  • Auto-mount with each system start

Access Protection:

  • Lock the interface with a custom password setting
  • Keep inexperienced users from making changes to your settings
  • Hide program user interface to prevent unauthorized usage

Message Center:

  • Notifications of malware infections
  • Reminders of activation code expiration date
  • Other important messages to enhance your RVS experience

Additional Features:

  • Additional program level protection
  • Dynamic Disk caching
  • Access and browser for real disk and registry
  • Quick overview of all settings
  • Desktop Toolbar with right-click menu
  • Program hot-key
  • Languages: English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Korean, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Dutch, Czech, Finnish (other languages coming soon, if you want to help, let us know)
  • Intuitive, and simple User Interface
  • User´s Help Manual

Autoruns 9.55

Autoruns, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them.

These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

Autoruns’ Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option helps you to zoom in on third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system and it has support for looking at the auto-starting images configured for other accounts configured on a system. Also included in the download package is a command-line equivalent that can output in CSV format, Autorunsc.

What’s New in version 9.55:

  • Fix: A bug that prevented some 64-bit entries from being disabled is addressed in this update.
