A couple of weeks ago Microsoft revealed a beta version of its free on-line
security scanning tool Windows Live Safety Center. The scanner, which
currently requires the use of Internet Explorer, uses an ActiveX control to
scan the visitor's system for malicious software, open ports, as well as for
non-security performance issues. The screen shot below shows the tool's
scanning options.
