New (free) malware removal tool from Microsoft

June 2nd, 2011 No comments

Microsoft has released a tool for cleaning malware that boots from USB or CD.  It’s called System Sweeper.  So if you’re in need…  It’s still in beta stage, but a beta is better than nothing.

And don’t forget Microsoft’s free anti-virus tool, Security Essentials

I use Forefront, which is the corporate version of SE.  No problems so far with 8 different employees and 3 servers. 

Snoop

I’ve been up to my eye-balls in WPF development lately. It is a bit different from ASP.Net and WinForm development. I found a utility today that helps me understand exactly what is going on with the UI: Snoop. Snoop can “see” all WPF apps running. You can examine the logical tree and even map UI elements to specific items on the UI surface. (Ctrl + Shift + Mouse-Over the UI element)
