Windows Defender Offline offers a number of advantages over other anti-malware applications. You boot the infected system from the Defender CD/DVD, circumventing the normal Windows boot process. Booting the infected computer this way prevents malware from launching and hiding itself. In addition, the CD/DVD you create can be updated. If you're using an older version make sure to use the Update feature available once the system has been booted from the Defender CD/DVD. This will ensure the most recent virus definition files are being used.
