The recent attention to botnets (eg on /.) makes me wonder what kind of detection tools there are and how good they are.
I see the link from today's /. blurb talks about Microsoft's "malicious software detection tool". Searching on that phrase does lead something called "Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool", which is easy to find and downloadable (although I haven't tried it). Does anyone have any experience with this or other such tools? Is it (are they) any good? Links to related tools and techniques are invited. We all probably know someone with an MSbox. I kinda like to know what to recommend to friends and relatives along these lines. Well, of course I mean the inferior strategies available after "install Linux" :-).
