Greetings!
I have a major infestation.

When I try to go to MS http://safety.live.com/ via IE, I get a 404 page but
I can access it by Firefox..
but... I can only get the scan if I'm using IE... I get the "Whoops...
you're using the wrong browser" message.

How can I get to the site with the MS scan using IE?

You can't use if with FireFox and you DON'T want to use it anyway. It is a Beta and it's
junk. Its detection rate is way below AV industry standards.

Forget about using this web site. There is no reason to anyway. The tried and true AV
vendors like; Trend Micro and Kaspersky, have web based scanners. However, having a local
AV scanner is better because there is NO dependence upon the use of a Browser.

The folliowing tool provides the AV scanners from; McAfee, Trend, Sophos and Kaspersky.


Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm
