malware tool kb890830

I downloaded the software windows malware tool kb890830, but don't not know what program to open it or how to use it?

Hi ccd004,

Essentially, he's doing his thing, but if you use the monthly update from WIndows Update it occurs once a month, when, or shortly after you have uploaded/updated.  That's fine as you should be otherwise protected with certain AV product anyway (like MSE).

To run MSRT more frequently, or when you want it, you will need to download the version of the Download Center (the one with Windows Update will offer this option not) - but in truth, you are also protected if you use MSE for real-time protection and analyses and if you want to do a more detailed analysis, so instead of a product to a few threats only very limited Instead, download and run the Scanner from Microsoft which is far superior: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx.

Steve gave you an excellent article on the MSRT tool.

For more information about Microsoft Security products (and), and see this: http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx.

Good luck!

  • Windows Update, stuck to malicious Removal Tool KB890830

    When new updates to date is now available on Windows Update today, I selected all the and installed.  Everything went well until the malicious removal tool (KB890830).  Just stuck there for 20 minutes, so I decided finally hit Cancel and restarted my computer (to apply the updates installed successfully).  After windows restarted, the malicious removal tool appeared on the list of Windows Update to update applied successfully, each after he (list of display compatibility IE KB982664) appeared as cancelled.

    It is not the first time that this problem happened to me.  (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/a33315c8-68c0-43cb-945c-7f00e6c071f2/#27e2ccbf-090f-4e66-8d12-043a03176cb3).  The last time, he was also stuck on the malicious removal tool.  I have already run the MS fix to reset my Windows Update (the aggressive option).   Why it still occur?

    I opened C:\WINDOWS\Debug\MRT. TXT and scrolls at the end of the file and I saw the following entry at the time of the day.

    I am running Vista SP2.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    The last time, he was also stuck on the malicious removal tool.  I have already run the MS fix to reset my Windows Update (the aggressive option).   Why it still occur?

    In your original thread (14 Jul-10 & ff), we learned that:

    1. you did a facility own shortly before installing MSE. and this...

    2. While you have uninstalled the reinstalled McAfee-free trial, you did not download/run the McAfee Consumer products removal tool before installing MSE.

    Well I had you then run the tool, reset Internet Explorer and reset Windows Update by running the KB970158 Fix It in default & aggressive modes, I know not how long you had run MSE until we have done all that it is a slight chance that the steps you took resolve not behavior. That being said...

    QUESTION: Do you have all the other updates released August 10-10 install successfully? [Yes/No]

    ACTIONS:

    1. download the Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT), save it to your desktop: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD724AE0-E72D-4F54-9AB3-75B8EB148356

    2. temporarily disable all S * PERAntiSpyware real-time protection & b MBAM (but only if it is the paid version) & ZoneAlarm (c) (if it is always installed), and THEN select Windows Firewall. [1]

    3. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above (e.g., windows-kb890830 - v3.10.exe) and run a quick scan. Do not TOUCH the computer until the end of the race (wait at least 30 minutes).

    4. assuming that the quick scan under #3 went well, now run a full scan. Yet once, do not TOUCH the computer until the end of the race (may take an hour or more).

    [Comment: when you download/run the MSRT tool as part of the installation of updates, analysis will take much longer time (vs. manual execution) that your system a little "tied" by the automatic updates and the entire update process does not complete until after the MSRT tool has run.] In short, be a lot more patient next time.]

    5. now open the journal (C:\WINDOWS\Debug\MRT. (TXT) & go downstairs. Highlight the last two 2 inputs (e.g., the results of the scans that you did in #3 & #4 above) & copy it to the Clipboard.

    6. open a response to my post & paste the contents of the Clipboard in your answer and your answer to the above QUESTION.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    [1] with MSE installed, real-time protections included in S * PERAntiSpyware or the paid version of MBAM and ZoneAlarm (any version) may be "overkill" for your computer. In other words, the protection in real time of the MSE anti-virus & antispyware components could be hampered by the real-time protection included with other applications. Food for thought, anyway.

    NOTE: because you upgraded to Win7 Vista, you will need to do a clean install of Vista. Once you get Vista fully patched & SP1 is installed, you will be able to switch to Win7 again.

    NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery")... unless you wiped out the hidden partition when you upgraded to Win7.

    After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

    the cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
