Hey. Please reply ASAP. We need a security tool for Windows system. Can someone tell me about Microsoft Scanner Software? Where can I get the software from? Is it free to use?
Hello. Microsoft Scanner Software is available as a free download on the Microsoft site. It is basically a security tool that helps to scan and remove viruses and other potentially harmful elements on demand. Though this is not a replacement for an anti-virus support it, in fact, works together with the software to enable greater protection.
If you need a security software for your computer, installing an antivirus or internet security program will help. One antivirus you should try is ESET NOD32 Antivirus. It supports Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10 including Windows Home Server 2011. You may also try ESET Internet Security. This replaces ESET Smart Security which is now a legacy version.
Both have the same system requirements. Norton Security Deluxe is also a good security program. Before, there were Norton Antivirus and Norton Internet Security. Now, Symantec combined the security features of both products resulting to the creation of Norton Security Deluxe. It supports Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows Vista Service Pack 1, Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10.
On the other hand, if you have a computer that is already infected with a virus, you can use Sophos Virus Removal Tool. This is not an antivirus nor an internet security application but a virus removal tool.
