Redmond released a new version of the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool on Patch Tuesday, thus lending a hand to users who are trying to get rid of specific infections from their computers.

While the company is yet to disclose some official release notes for version 5.9, the fresh build most likely comes with detection and cleaning capabilities for new forms of malware, which means that you can remove even more infections from your computer.

Of course, the application continues to provide support for all Windows versions still on the market right now, starting with the old XP and ending with the newly-launched 8.1.

The program will continue to support Windows XP after April 8, the date when the ancient operating system will go dark, so it might be a good idea to download Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool 5.9 right now to stay on the safe side.
