Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper Beta, a recovery tool that can help
you start an infected PC and perform an offline scan to help identify
and remove rootkits and other advanced malware. In addition, Microsoft
Standalone System Sweeper Beta can be used if you cannot install or
start an antivirus solution on your PC, or if the installed solution
can’t detect or remove malware on your PC.

Foster,

I also posted the link about the Microsoft Safety
Scanner.  Both this sweeper and the scanner I found out about by
listening to the Leo LaPorte / Steve Gibson "Security Now" podcast.  If
you guys were to listen to that show, you may get bits of things to add
to your show.

A side note, I run Microsoft Security essentials on
my mom's 933MHz P3 running XP and it runs fine so in general I do not
believe it's not for older PC's.  It will sometimes conflict with things
which can sometimes cause an issue.  It is the AV program I recommend
1st to anyone who wants a free program.

When will you get a chat
room back?  If you had a chat room and watched it while doing the show
people could chime in with suggestions.  On Leo's "Tech Guy" show out of
KFI 640 in LA he gets lots and lots of help from the room, so much he
calls them his "2nd brain".  He does usually have 800+ people in the
room however and he does direct questions to the room so solicits help
from them if he cannot answer a question.

Later,
