The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool checks computers running Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 for infections by specific, prevalent malicious software—including Conflicker, Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom—and helps remove any infection found. When the detection and removal process is complete, the tool displays a report describing the outcome, including which, if any, malicious software was detected and removed.

It looks like everything is working properly now, if anybody notices anything funny please let me know. I’m still having many admin issues after upgrading to Wordpress 2.7
I was unable to even login to my admin page for the last 7 days, looks like it was 2 non compatible plugins that were causing the login problem. Word to the wise, don’t perform a upgrade on your site then go on vacation.
To everybody who has left a comment or sent an Email with a question please bear with me for a few more days until I get the back-end of VistaRevisited working again.
Thanks,
Kevin.

Windows Vista SP2 Beta is now available for public download from the Microsoft download center. Keep in mind this is a Beta service pack and may cause instabilities in your system. Also you must have SP1 installed first.
If you’re willing to give it a try I would make sure you have a good backup in place first. You will also have to uninstall this beta version when the finished version ships in or around April.
I have been running it for a few weeks now and it seems to be pretty stable so far.
Here are some of the improvements listed.
