But it offers additional protection as it scans and removes suspected infections which some security software has not detected. Nevertheless, this is not in any way a replacement for the antivirus software since it doesn’t provide real-time protection or automatic updates. It comes with the same engine and threat definitions from the Microsoft Defender Antivirus.


MSERT is quite similar to the Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT), and it performs the same as any regular anti-malware software that can be used on Windows 10. Including viruses, spyware, and any unsolicited software that can potentially harm your computer even without installing them on the device. The tool can scan, find, and remove any potential threat of malware types. Microsoft has provided its Windows 10 users the standalone tool Microsoft Safety Scanner tool, says Mauro Huculak of windowscentral. Unsure whether the antivirus has truly protected you from potential malware attack? Do you need an additional security measure to put? Try to use Microsoft Safety Scanner (MSERT) and see the difference.
