No

From the Microsoft web-site

This tool checks your computer for infection by specific, prevalent malicious software (including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom) and helps to remove the infection if it is found. Microsoft will release an updated version of this tool on the second Tuesday of each month.

maybe not all of those. I've not had any experience with any of them,
I use Windows Firewall AVG free anti-virus, and Lavasoft Ad-aware.

You only need to run 1 anti virus program, and 1 firewall

AVG http://free.avg.com/

Ad aware http://www.lavasoft.com/

Also you can get a free on-line virus scan from Trend http://housecall.trendmicro.com/uk/

Re: Members personal websites /Blogs

In my experience there is less likelihood of a "free" utility than of a free lunch. What this usually means is:

1). A free scan without repair.
2). Free for a short time if you leave your credit card number.
3). Free if you buy something else;
4). - and most dangerous - free, but accompanied by infection.

If my MacAfee E.O.M. program (delivered with my Dell) had found any infection, it would have dealt with it. Instead it reported "no infection found."
