I downloaded the malware removal tool, but that it can not find on the list of programs, what good is it if I can't find it?

I want to launch this tool, but can't find it, but still my Microsoft Download list says that it has been installed successfly in September 2011

According to Noel, MSRT is run automatically when it is first downloaded from Windows Update.  If you want to run again for some reason, click Start, click Run, and then type the following in the Open box and click OK

MRT.exe

The results will be in a text file named C:\Windows\debug\MRT.log

You can add switches: /? display information use
/ Q runs without user interface
/N is only detect
/ F is full force sca
/ F: there did a full scan and automatically cleans infected files

For more details, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Malicious_Software_Removal_Tool

Unlike typical antivirus software, MSRT does not get updated virus signatures.  A new version, with the latest integrated virus information, is offered each month from Windows Update.
