| | Hi, The scanner isn't memory resident and doesn't update automatically. Quote: The Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing antivirus software. Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To rerun a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The Microsoft Safety Scanner is not a replacement for using an antivirus software program that provides ongoing protection. Regards, Golden |

| | Is their any point in running both the Microsoft Safety Scanner and running Microsoft Security Essentials on the same data base. If MSE is in use does MSS serve any purpose ? Thanks Richard |

| | It never hurts to run scans, especially with the threats now out on the web. You never know which malware/virus can slip though one AV. So therefore, it probably would be a good idea to run Microsoft Safety Scanner once a week or more depending on your preference. |
