Yes, if you plan to use it for more than the 10 days.
Think of it as an online scanner (ie. Eset Online Scanner). I'm assuming it would scan with the same detections as MSE. Remember MSE requires the OS to be genuine, so expiring after 10 days is somewhat understandable.

Its not an online scanner. Its the same as Dr.WebCurit and Kaspersky's Virus Removal Tool as I have previously explained. Web scanners do not expire.
Nice, but since they have a fully functional FREE antivirus, why would they make this expire after 10 days?
Do any of you understand what this does and what its for? Its a stand alone non updating malware scanner. We all have used Dr.WebCurit and Kaspersky Virus Removal tool before. Both of those also expire but its not a trial expiration. Its cause new definitions are added to the downloader. Everytime you want to run scan with Dr.WebCurit you need to download the complete package which changes about every 3-4 days or so. Same principle.
Sry I thought it was updatable, but u are wrong here, the Kaspersky Removal Tool can be updated with another tool that is available online, do a google search ;DDieselman said:

There is a program made to even update the virus removal tool
Link:http://depositfiles.com/en/files/840jt6cm2
This is a NOD32 Update something and it has a kaspersky icon which u can use to update the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, I've been doing it for some time and it works well
More info:http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/11/09/manually-update-avptool-kaspersky-virus-removal-tool-signature-databases - This info is for the old version, but you pretty much get the point.

Very shady if you ask me. Trusting some sort of hack to update a program which can easily be downloaded. No thanks.
@Dieselman Well, I've tested it and it works, but you are right that the program can be easily redownloaded. I don't use AVPTool much though.
Note that this isn't new. It has been out for a while under a different name (windows live onecare)
