Microsoft Releases Malicious Software Removal Tool
DaHat writes "Hot on the heels of their release last week of Microsoft AntiSpyware, Microsoft today released their very own Malicious Software Removal Tool with the claim that it will detect and remove infections from specific pieces of malware, including those in the families of Berbew, Doomjuice, Gaobot, Msblast, Mydoom, Nachi, Sassier, and Zindos from your Windows 2000, XP or 2003 machine. Microsoft also promises to release an updated version of the tool on the second Tuesday of each month."
Did it ever cross your mind that that they actually might take something like that into consideration beforehand?
That's pretty good... issuing the advisory before even discovering a vulnerability, let alone an exploit. Man, are we gald you're here to speed up the process.
Where were you when the tsunami victims-to-be needed you?
Can I bum a sig? I left mine at the office.
Oh god. First it's "They don't do anything to fix all the viruses!" Now it's "Fixing the viruses will squash all the anti-virus companies". I 3 /.
It downloads fine under firefox. Just doesn't do much afterwards (maybe it doesn't consider SuSE to be malicious software :-)
Just like Funzo ripping malibu stacy's heads off?
*one on each pencil while dancin!*
So I guess in this case we'll see Bonzi Buddy's head being ripped off by Clippy?!?
