Sometimes, malicious and other potentially unwanted software, including rootkits, try to install themselves on your PC. This can happen when you connect to the Internet or install some programs from a CD, DVD, or other media. Once on your PC, this software might run immediately, or it might run at unexpected times. Windows Defender Offline Beta is that program created to help you remove such hard to find malicious and potentially unwanted programs using definitions that recognize threats. Definitions are files that provide an encyclopaedia of potential software threats.

As a matter of fact, since new threats appear daily, it is important to always have the most up-to-date definitions installed in Windows Defender Offline Beta. Armed with definition files, Windows Defender Offline Beta can detect malicious and potentially unwanted software, and then notify you of the risks. There are actually four basic steps to installing Windows Defender Offline on your system, and these steps include the following; download Windows Defender Offline Beta and create a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, restart your PC using the Windows Defender Offline Beta media, scan your PC for malicious and other potentially unwanted software, and remove any malware that is found from your PC.
