Recover Infected Windows With Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper

Even if your system is protected with Antivirus, firewall and other malware prevention tool, sometimes bad luck still happens. If all things failed, the common solution for most users is to reformat their Windows but you should not even consider this one until you use the Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper first. It is a recovery tool that can help you start an infected PC and perform an offline scan to help identify and remove rootkits and other advanced malware. Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper wont replace your antivirus software, it is used in situations where you cannot boot your PC due to a virus or other malware infection. The app should be saved on a media device such as a USB, CD or DVD. From the first step of the System Sweeper, you'll have to select a media device (CD, DVD or USB) and click Next.



System Sweeper will be automatically generated and saved in your selected media device as an ISO image. On the infected PC, simply boot from the device containing System Sweeper. This will allow you to perform a full scan to remove the malware. It works on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. I tested it on Windows 7 x86 version.
