    no it doesnt, all it does is downloads the tools so it can check your pc, and then does the scan on the same window,

    and if you need to check your computer again in the future, you would have to go through the same procedure, by downloading the tools, but it doesnt install any thing permanent

    Its not spam, some of the ops claims may be false but its a legit microsoft program, however if you are going to risk your security to online scans then there are much better options.

    Bit Defender might be a good place to start. I would seriously recommend a trip over to the tech board for some sensible advice on protecting your PC for free if you have no protection though
