How malware removal tool installs is supposed to work?

I've never had a monthly malicious software removal tool install successfully.  All what happens is the CPU usage goes to 100%, the disc turns, and nothing happens.  The Task Manager shows the installation is running.  Part of the installation a scan of the drive?  Without warning, it starts?  Or what? I've waited longer, is 1 1/2 hour.  Not normal?

* original title - someone tell me what the malware removal installation tools should actually look like.  He maxed out my Presario processor for an hour of nothing b4 I forced to close them down

    are both able to run on vista without interference with another?

    Yes.

    But I highly recommend against Norton. In my opinion, this is one of the
    worst choice of security software. For an anti-virus program, I have
    recommend eSet NOD32, if you are willing to pay for it. If you want a
    free anti-virus, I recommend one of the following three:
     
    Avira
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials
     
    You also need anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download and
    (both freeware) to install MalwareBytes AntiMalware and
    SuperAntiSpyware.

  • Windows malware removal tool (February) install failure

    Monthly. I would have to wait until this installed, but cancelled after waiting half an hour.

    Now marked "failed". -I clicked on the icon to try again. No results.

    You will get the next month.  The MSRT tool is not an update, it's just a unique analysis (it's a stand-alone version of antivirus that runs a single scan, and then deletes it).

  • Malware Removal Tool today?

    I have Windows 7 Home 64 bit w/SP 1. When Windows Update checked today (I put it for check/inform only), he showed an update optional available - not selected, just "ready for download. It was KB890830, which is the malicious software removal tool that usually comes out every 2nd Tuesday. Should I have got this today?

    I had another thought on this topic. It is logical that the malicious software removal tool must be run before the main monthly Windows Update download. It is unwise to try to install the updates in an environment where malware is present. It could be that Microsoft had this point in mind when they offered the malicious software removal tool before the main download.

    The other day I installed the malicious software removal tool, and the monthly updates do not include the tool. Microsoft could do this to reduce the inconvenience to users and to deflect criticism of the customers coming every month.
