Description


This is a Microsoft tool that helps identify malware and potentially unwanted applications. It does this by comparing files and programs against a database of known malicious items. If a match is found, the tool will provide information on the threat and offer options for removal. This can help protect your computer from being infected by malware or unwanted software.
