    Microsoft seems to be adding to their stable of Computer Protection programs.

    Like the author, I wonder why it is so big a download.

    I wondered that as well.
    Especially when you consider what Combofix will remove and that's only a 4.1MB download.

    Not a lot of good for someone on a slow internet connection.

    Gave it a try at the weekend.... the quick scan was quick. (only about 3 mins)
    Have yet to try the full scan though.
