Microsoft Safety Scanner (MSERT) is a standalone tool on Windows 10 that scans, finds, and removes many malware types, including viruses, spyware, and unwanted software causing harm on the computer without having to install it on the device.
It is similar to the MSRT and works similarly to regular anti-malware software. But it is not a replacement for an antivirus solution since it does not offer real-time protection or automatic updates.
It only provides another way to scan and remove infections if you believe the device has been infected. Also, the Microsoft Safety Scanner is only valid for ten days. Once it expires, you need to download an updated version to make sure you are scanning the device with the latest security threats definitions and enhancements.
