Microsoft Safety Scanner runs a manual malware scan on Windows and can reverse changes made by identified threats.
About Microsoft Safety Scanner
Microsoft Safety Scanner is a Windows scan tool designed to find and remove malware. It can try to reverse changes made by identified threats. You download it, open it, choose a scan type, and start the scan. It is a portable program that does not appear in the Start menu. Results show on screen, and detailed detections are in a log file. It is meant for on-demand checks, not real-time protection, since the page points to Microsoft Defender Antivirus for that job.
Pricing is not clearly stated.
