Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free, standalone security tool designed to scan and remove malware from Windows computers. Unlike traditional antivirus programs, it does not provide real-time protection but is intended for on-demand scanning to detect and eliminate viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. Users can download and run it whenever they suspect an infection, and it works alongside existing antivirus software without conflicts. The tool is regularly updated with the latest malware definitions to ensure effective detection.
