MRT.exe is a new file that appeared on my hard drive

MRT.exe is a new file that appeared on my hard drive this week, occupying more than 53 000 KB. Is it safe? (the source file is mrtstub.exe)

Anti - this is the one-time execution of Microsoft for their security scanner, which is updated monthly and is managed by Windows updates current.

It is designed to attack and remove some specific malicious software which is known to cause serious problems on the internet (for the most part, worms and Trojan horses).

If you want o, you can remove it, but don't be surprised when it reappears the next time that you run a batch of updates (especially if you have set to automatic WU)

    Hi Calvin,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft community!

    To be able to understand the question in a better way than to provide you with the exact resolution, I would like to know exactly the problem you are experiencing.

    (1) exactly where you see these files?

    As a precaution I suggest you perform a virus on your computer scan by clicking on the link below:

  • BSOD and the only file that appears is ntkrnlpa.exe when you play Metal Gear Rising

    So it's a bit complicated to explain especially because I downloaded Bluescreenview and the only file that appears is ntkrnlpa.exe and happens when I play Metal Gear Rising statement, which is a CPU intensive game, I thought it was because it was overheating and/or die but I downloaded Core Temp to monitor if my fan work and the max temp it reached is 65 degrees celsius so I can't find the problem, it happens randomly, once I could play 2 hours withouth a BSOD and the following 5 minutes, I also tried to reinstall but nothing happened, I only overclock my Gpu, my cpu is a pretty old 1.8 ghz dual core but it can still run any game well enough, I also tried the option veryfier.exe which led to my computer crash at startup , so I had to disable using safe mode, and it was down deamon tools, is my failing processor or windows give up and I need to reinstall?

    Thanks for the help, the game does not cause me a BSOD since I've updated PCI sound card drivers which I didn't at first because the site is in a mixture of Japanese and really bad English.

    Hello

    You have your computer connected to a network or domain?

    Step 1: You can check if the problem persists in safe mode with networking and send back the same. This is perhaps due to some programs running in the background.

    I have an IMac with time machine and time capsule. If I buy a large external hard drive can back up all my Lightroom Info but also everything else to go to time machine, & that it saves on hard drive new, after he made a backup to time capsule?  This way, I would have two backups.

    Hi marinersr,

    I'm not sure the backup machine capsule/time, but according to me, that it backs up all data on your hard drive.

    Yes, you can back up the Lightroom catalog on the hard disk external.

    You can set the time of the backup under the catalog settings > backup > he would invite to the backup, when you exit Lightroom > click on select next to the location and specify the location as your new hard drive.

    If you want images of both original backup, you can configure to create a second copy of the images on your external drive during import.

  • Error 0x8007045D when copying files from computer to external hard drive

    I am trying to copy some files from my drive HARD outside., but I get this error (error 0x8007045D: the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error).

Y at - there any possibility to fix it. Thank you for helping

    Hello Nyfixen,

    1. have you changed the permission for the external hard drive or files you are trying to copy?

    2. you have all important data (files) stored on the external hard drive?

    3. are you able to copy the external hard drive to the computer?

    The Autorun.inf could not be a problem for that. It always seems to be a problem of permission for me. Some hard drives have a jumper on them for write protection. You should check the configuration of jumpers, thank you consult the manual that came with the hard drive for permissions.

    Two points:

    1. If you want to delete some installed programs, do not make
    deletion of the folder they are in. That doesn't remove them only partially and
    can cause problems. Remove programs by in control
    Configuration/program Panel and features.

    2. a drive of 74 GB is a tiny disk these days. There are a number of
    things you can do to save space, but they are all basically
    temporary and you will soon find yourself in the same situation.
    The only real solution is to buy and install a larger capacity drive.
    Fortunately, they are very cheap these days; You can buy a 500GB
    drive for about US $65.

    What can I do?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    What SATA driver you have integrated with nLite? If Windows XP cannot always find a disk of t means that you used the wrong driver. The correct driver can be downloaded from the official website of Toshiba and you need the Intel Storage Manager.

    If you have downloaded the correct driver, follow the instructions here and make sure that your version of XP SP3:

    Hello

    The Hiberfil.sys hidden system file is located in the folder root of the drive where the operating system is installed. The Windows Kernel Power Manager reserves this file when you install Windows. The size of this file is approximately equal to the amount of memory (RAM) is installed on the computer.
