The advantage of the Windows PE solution is that you can add Microsoft Safety Scanner to your Windows administration toolbox on your USB stick. Many antivirus software vendors offer boot kits with their scan engines, which are usually based on Linux.
Windows PE is a good choice for an offline antivirus scan because the operating system is lightweight and boots up quickly. Sophisticated viruses are difficult, and sometimes impossible to remove while Windows is running and the best way to remove them is to access the infected drive from a second OS while Windows is offline. The fact that the Microsoft Safety Scanner runs on Windows PE makes the free antivirus tool much more useful because it allows you to scan a Windows installation while it is offline.

It is not meant to be used as a day-to-day tool, as it does not provide real-time protection against viruses, cannot update its virus definitions and expires after ten days. It was released on 15 April 2011, following the discontinuation of Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner.
