Microsoft removal tool crashes my pc

I downloaded the Microsoft malicious software removal tool and before the end of full scan my pc crashed... Do I have a virus I need help please...

Hello

Possible, these methods are used to check and then RUN sfc/scannow and checkdisk
(chkdsk /f r).

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as 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
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.

  • is my compatible Windows 7 ultimate to download the Microsoft Security removal tool

    my windows is Windows 7 Ultimate copyright 2009 service pack 1... 32-bit operating system
    Is it compatible to download the Microsoft removal tool and Microsoft security scanner because I tried to download it but I can't run it. What will make to run it?

    You are in violation of the terms of the Windows license, you accepted when you installed Windows - and could be pursued by MS if they wanted.

    You must purchase a legal Windows 7 Ultimate license and install this OR go back to the original OS with which the machine has been delivered (if all - of many machines in this area are sold free of any OS on the expectation that users will install their own choice.) The fact that your machine seems not to have a COA sticker, it seems be one of those).

    Yes the two site you mention can help with malware problems - but it is unlikely, once they are aware of the status of your license.

    McAfee would help - but if installation has already been compromised, it may be too late for such a solution. If McAfee was already installed at the start of your problems, it was ineffective, either you had not updated.

    Hello

    When any antivirus program scans and removes a virus to do a reboot to completely remove it from some parts of this virus are active. Given that the virus removal tool didn't you it restart as part of its service, it can remove only inactive parts of the virus. If you run the scan in safe mode it may have deleted all the virus. Just like removing a program, uninstaller was tell you to stop and exit the program until he could remove it. When malwarebytes running, there's a step before restarting it completely removes viruses and malicious software.

    Online virus removal tool is there so you can take control of the system and perform a local scan with your antivirus software.

    Recently, I downloaded and executed the MS Malicious Software Removal Tool. He said that if it finds any infected file he would remove the.

    Hi Flamencoqueen,

    Please use the Forum for answers!

    Different security programs have different detection evaluates, performance etc.  It could be that when scanning infected files were found and removed. If you have reason to believe that the result cannot be specific, you can choose to run that more than one antivirus program on a particular system provided that they are not in conflict with one another.

  • Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool vs Malwarebyte Anti-Malware

    Explain the difference/other services/conflicts between Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool and Malwarebyte Anti-Malware.

    I currently use Anti-Malware in conjunctgion with KIS 2012.

    Hi RW,.

    Not precisely.  I say that the Windows Firewall is perfectly adequate, and I don't know any others that provide better protection (but others may have more options of configuration or bells and whistles, some will offer essentially equivalent protection, and some are not as good as Windows Firewall).  Of course, some will say that there are some firewalls that are better than the Windows Firewall, but is no longer a subject of debate and discussion than anything I saw firmly and convincingly demonstrated.  And we know that the Windows Firewall works properly with Windows and other Microsoft products and has great support.  And I never heard of software conflicting with the Windows Firewall, I heard things regarding 3rd party brands - involving mainly browsers, e-mail programs and security as well as configurations of network programs (not just internet, but internal intranet, you can have in your home using cables (, wireless routers/modems, infrared devices, bluetooth, remote deskop (internal or external) devices if used parental controls, interfaces with the security at home and/or surveillance systems wireless devices such as printers or scanners or fax machines and other similar things).

    Remember, without a firewall your computer give to anyone trying to access the system through any network or remote connection via the ports.  There are several ports, most average users never need.  The firewall blocks essentially all ports except those that are specifically excluded.  That's where you come in.  Each has a default list of excluded ports.  You must go through this list and remove all exclusions that you know you don't need (and be sure you KNOW what you have blocked before deleting the exclusion).  Each exclusion represent a hole in your security that an attacker could have access.  The less the better.  When I came through the list, I probably cut just a little less than 50% of registrants - but I cut some I used but rarely I would have rather the firewall blocks and make the extra effort to unblock port temporarily the few times that I need to leave open at all times.  Although for Vista, this article will help you understand the basic concepts of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Firewall-frequently-asked-questions.   Attention to the last on the list because it provides links to other articles where you can get better and more information that can help you to choose and decide.

    I'm not going to argue here, since you have already the product and more.  This isn't what I would have chosen, but it is probably one of the best on the market suites and much, much better than some other choice, you could have done.  According to me, that it will probably do the job.  Quite simply, I don't know how good it is the Firewall works because I've never used this before then.  It may in fact be just as good and offer more features, or may not provide the same level of protection or cause any problems or conflicts with other programs or with your network (depending on how you setup).  I do not know.  You bought the suite because you wanted more features than just anti-virus protection.

    I think you can guess what I personally would do, but I can't advise you on what to do here - it's your software, your computer and your decision to make.  Don't forget that you can always disable the firewall in KIS and activate Windows Firewall (or the reverse), once you choose.  This comment in my post was directed at all the recipients and I didn't change it to you specifically - I mean not that it appear as more accurately you invites to spend now that you have already bought another product.  I was trying to say to people in general, he was no need to spend money on a separate firewall when the Windows Firewall has been excellent and would do the job perfectly well.  However, Windows Defender does NOT provide adequate and afflicted an antivirus program protection must be added (that may or may not turn off defender during the installation) to be sure.

    In short, the decision is yours to make.

    I hope this helps clarify things.

    Good luck and best wishes!

  • 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.

    Microsoft Windows malicious software removal tool [version month year]
    Started the [day month day hour year]

    I am running Vista SP2.

    Anti-Malware: MSE, SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes Anti Malware.  No Norton anti-virus and deleted using their customer products removal tool from McAfee.

    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.
