Answer 2

PREfast is included in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). Start here for instructions on how to get the WDK:

I'm not sure how easy it is to integrate into Visual Studio. Visual Studio 2008 includes a C/C++ analysis function (the /analyze option) which is similar in some ways to PREfast (but I'm not sure how similar - many articles seem to indicate it's the same thing).
