Microsoft Safety Scanner

Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free tool designed to search for and remove malware on Windows in a very simple way. This program doesn't run in the background, nor does it offer continuous protection like a traditional antivirus; instead, it runs whenever you decide to scan your computer. It's a good option as a complementary tool, especially when you suspect that there's an infection that your regular antivirus missed.

Detect and remove specific threats

The way Microsoft Safety Scanner works is very simple, as it doesn't require installation. All you have to do is download the executable file and select the type of analysis you want to perform. With Microsoft Safety Scanner, you can run a quick scan to check critical system areas, a full scan that examines all files and folders, or a custom scan focused on specific locations. Once complete, the tool displays the results and removes the detected threats or reverts the changes caused by the malware.

Compatible with multiple versions of Windows

Microsoft Safety Scanner works on a wide range of Windows systems, including modern versions such as Windows 10 and Windows 11, as well as earlier versions and Windows Server systems. Thanks to this, you will be able to use Microsoft Safety Scanner both on personal devices and in business environments that need to verify the integrity of their systems.

My thoughts on Microsoft Safety Scanner

What surprised me about Microsoft Safety Scanner is how simple it is to use, because you don't even have to install it, and starting your system analysis is as simple as clicking a button. You don't need to do anything else.

The best and the worst of Microsoft Safety Scanner

• What I liked most was its ease of use, its portable nature, and its ability to scan the entire system without interfering with other antivirus programs.

• What I liked least was that, for security reasons, it expires 10 days after installing it, after which you have to download it again.
