Microsoft Safety Scanner



  • It's an executable, not a full-fledged program intended to replace your Anti-virus software.
  • It self-destructs* after 10 days unused from the download.


*Maybe not self destruct, but it will render itself inoperable. Threats change all the time, even 10 days could make it outdated!





It took quite a long time, and slowed my PC to a crawl. Best to use it overnight, if possible. It concluded, and listed the removed software.

Contactless Tech’s Role in the New Guest Experience ft. Intelity and The George

 Contactless hospitality technology is growing. You want to get away, and you'll be damned if a little thing like a deadly virus will stop you! But you still don't want to touch things. Ew.
