Microsoft除毒，不防毒

Microsoft剛推出了Anti-spyware軟件之後，下星期二將會推出除毒軟件(Malicious Software Removal Tool)，看來他們的確對打擊病毒或Spyware之類的威脅頗有決心。不過當我們看過官方新聞稿如此說時，或許未能對他們太有信心：

In January 2004 Microsoft released a series of removal tools, each of which targeted a single virus or worm and some of its variants…. such as Blaster, MyDoom and Download.Ject. The new Microsoft Windows malicious software removal tool consolidates these existing removal tools into a single solution. The tool will be updated on the second Tuesday of each month as part of Microsoft’s monthly software security update process to respond to new viruses, worms and variants.

Monthly Software Security Update？每月Update一次，大概中了毒的人，早已經Format了自己的電腦，再重裝了幾次，因此絕不要希望這Malicious Software Removal Tool是一個應急的工具。當你急之時，都是找Peter Norton、McAfee或Trend Micro等算吧。
