Microsoft Safety Scanner – offline scanner with CLI!

2012.07.03

Or I missed, or nobody told me, but:
Brand New Microsoft Safety Scanner available for usage
From here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx or http://safety.live.com
Not require Internet to perform scan, include all definitions inside and (!!) support Command Line options.
/Q or /quiet - quiet mode
/? or /help - displays help
/N - detect only mode (this is useful)
/F - force full scan
/F:Y - full scan + automatically clean infected
/H - detect high and severe threats only

You can download it with Command line too:

Direct links:

for x64: http://definitionupdates.microsoft.com/download/definitionupdates/safetyscanner/amd64/msert.exe

for x86: http://definitionupdates.microsoft.com/download/definitionupdates/safetyscanner/x86/msert.exe

Actually, very ascetic interface, no ads whatever (as most AV tools)

Perform cleanup without interrupting user (if not mentioned otherwise via CLI)

Log file placed %systemroot%\debug\msert.log

So, update Your remote managed machines with new options )
