Re: [Blind-Computing] Microsoft Launches New Free Malware Scanner
Hi Al, This appears to me to be similar, if not a replacement for Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool. I can't imagine the need for both since the Malicious Software Removal Tool still comes with Windows Updates each month. Also, why hasn't Microsoft incorporated this into their security essentials?

It would seem to me anything Microsoft developed should have been picked up by their MSE program? What am I missing?
