As its name implies, Microsoft Safety Scanner provides a security software utility that targets viruses, spyware and potentially unwanted software on the host computer. With its help, you can make sure data and files are secure and that the entire system in clean.

Designed to be as simple as possible, Microsoft Safety Scanner runs a wizard that guides you through the steps needed to initiate a scan. You are prompted to select the type of scan to choose out of three different options: quick scan, full scan and customized scan.
