    I've seen a few messages on NTBUGTRAQ that pertain to locating tools
    from Microsoft. The way to know what is out there (and where) is to
    subscribe to the notification newsletters.

    If you want to be kept up-to-date on what is new and available at
    Microsoft you can subscribe to the Microsoft Security Newsletter and
    Microsoft Download Notifications newsletters. You can get more
    information and subscribe to the lists at the link below.

    Microsoft announced both AntiSpyware and MSRT on these lists. More
    currently, a tool was announced that allows users to drop administrative
    rights for specific applications:

    Cheers!

NTBugtraq Editor's Note:
Most viruses these days use spoofed email addresses. As such, using an Anti-Virus product which automatically notifies the perceived sender of a message it believes is infected may well cause more harm than good. Someone who did not actually send you a virus may receive the notification and scramble their support staff to find an infection which never existed in the first place. Suggest such notifications be disabled by whomever is responsible for your AV, or at least that the idea is considered.
