Most antivirus programs include only files which are opened by the user in their scans, so if the malware code is placed on the memory, it won’t be detected by the antivirus software. But AMSI has specific structure which allows users to run file, memory or stream scans, content source URL/IP reputation checks, and other advanced security measurements in order to keep their computers as safe as possible.
Another great thing with Antimalware Scan Interface is that it will also scan communication apps or services, like Facebook Messenger, or Twitter Direct Messages, ensuring that you can chat with your friends without a risk of downloading some unwanted content or software. It will even scan browser’s installed plugins and extensions for completely secure browsing. Here’s what Lee Holmes, Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft said about the new security tool: Microsoft especially recommends this tool to app developers who want to make their apps ‘cooperate’ with anti-malware programs, and creators of third-party security software who want their programs to provide the best features for securing apps on user’s computer.
