The Windows Malicious Software Removal tool is a separate program that is updated by Microsoft every month and is available through Windows Update. It only affects certain viruses and it won't interact with your current anti-virus software at all.

 

Also, Norton and Mcafe are terrible! Get ESET Nod32 or the free Microsoft one.

 

It's a good idea to run it every month, especially if you have been infected before in the past.
