SUMMARY
Microsoft has released the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to help remove specific, prevalent malicious software from computers that are running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows 2000. The Malicious Software Removal Tool supersedes all virus-cleaner tools that were previously released by Microsoft. You can download the Malicious Software Removal Tool from the Microsoft Download Center. You can also run an online version of the tool from the Malicious Software Removal Tool Web site on Microsoft.com. To run the Malicious Software Removal Tool from either location, you must log on to the computer by using an account that is a member of the Administrators group. If you are running either Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1), you can also run the Malicious Software Removal Tool from the Windows Update Web site or by using Automatic Updates.

Location to run: C:\WINDOWS\system32\MRT.exe

it updated (through windows update site) all the time you may like to make a shortcut to it, to run as you like to check for Malicious Virus running in your system. this is not really a anti-virus program it only scan a really short list of virus around 20+ names only to remove and it will give you a report if it found any.
