Microsoft security tools go global
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft is introducing its free PC-scanning service outside the U.S., part of an international push for its security tools.
The Windows Live OneCare safety scanner is now available around the world, Microsoft said in a statement Monday. The online scanner removes viruses and spyware, rids a hard drive of clutter, and runs defragmentation.
The service is similar to Trend Micro's House Call and McAfee's FreeScan, though those only remove malicious software.
