I've been recommending this scan for some time for users of XP. It's now available in beta form for the Vista users out there.

It's benefits include:
1) Scanning for malware
2) Registry cleaning
3) Deletion of Temp files
4) Defragging your hard drive
5) Open port scan
6) a bit of System information
7) Changing your oil (OK, so I fibbed about this one! smile.gif

You can reach it by navigating to the http://safety.live.com/ page and clicking on the beta link. Also, here's the direct link: http://safety.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm

You'll have to use Internet Explorer (v7 will work), allow pop-ups from the site, and follow the prompts to install the ActiveX control (and the inevitable UAC prompts) in order for it to run. It's running on my system right now. I'll let y'all know the results when it's done.

The scan worked quite well. It gave 5 errors in trying to fix file type associations in the HKCU registry keys(.wpl, .wms, .cda, .wmz, .wmd) but otherwise it did all that it was expected to do!
