Security Utility Free -- For the Time Being Anyway

While there's no such thing as a free lunch, security vendor MicroWorld Technologies is offering a free security check up and repair for virus and other malwares, at least for the next couple of weeks anyway.

The offer is a promotion associated with the 8.x release of MicroWorld's MWAV toolkit/utility. Among other features, MWAV:

• Scans your computer completely and provides reports of any viruses that it finds.
• Checks for all illegal dialers that are present on your computer and informs you of the same.
• Informs you of any background illegal sniffers or tools like spyware, adware, keyloggers etc. running in the memory of your computer.

According to MicroWorld, there’s no need install the software, -- you just download and run the toolkit and scan the computer right away. MWAV gives you the option to add it to the startup list of programs on your computer so that the toolkit scans your computer every time you start using it. This version will scan and clean your computer of any threats with the latest updates up to February 15, 2007.
