An anti-spyware hidden in Windows Vista

There are a number of software "spies" who spend their days scrutinizing your computer to inform their employers… To avoid this there are programs like Ad-aware responsible for removing them.



Windows Vista includes two anti-spyware: one "official" Windows Defender and another who does not enjoy the same reputation: "Malicious Software Removal Tool."



The first is useful, think well to keep activated. To do this, type "defender" in the pursuit of quick start menu and click windows defender. Try a search to verify that your system is clean.



The Malicious Software removal tool when asked to gymnastics more important to be used:



Also in the quick search Vista, type "command" and run the command prompt.



Once the window pseudo launched MS-DOS, type "mrt" wait and that the software is displayed.



Simply do searches on your computer to see that your system is finally healthy (or not).



I do not know what the analysis of the two programs differ, but as the saying goes: prevention is better than cure (and this is especially true for Vista).
