Run the malicious software removal tool every month? leave a newspaper?
Original title: Malicious Software Removal Tool
I downloaded and ran this tool, about six weeks ago (end of January). I understand that it is updated, re-downloaded and run, all automatically, the second Tuesday of each month (if Windows security is enabled for "Auto-mises to date and that your computer is currently running/left on"). Can someone tell me if this is correct?
Yes, if you have automatic updates, the tool of mrt is updated and scans your PC each patch tuesday.
The malicious software removal tool creates a log mrt.log. For Windows XP, which is located in C:\WINDOWS\Debug. Not sure where it is in Windows 7 or Vista. but you should be able to find it.
You can also manually, run the tool (mrt.exe, in C:\WINDOWS\system32)

How can I run the malicious software removal tool?
My apologies in advance if this seems trivial, but all the articles I have read on the forums refer to download (easy bit) and run the MSRT tool, but are rare on how to actually run it. Or if it runs automatically as part of Windows Defender? I'm sure the answer will be obvious, but for now I'm stuck! Any help is appreciated. Thank you. JOCK McSQUIGGLE
It's nothing to do with Windows Defender.
It is a completely separate program.
Instructions
- Click on the button download on this page to start the download.
- Do one of the following:
- To start the installation immediately, click run.
- To save the download to your computer for installation at a later time, click Save.
- To cancel the installation, click Cancel.
- If you save it, you double-click on it to run it like anything else.

To help resolve this issue, use the System File Checker (SFC.exe) tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
- Type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

original title: WHY Windows Update keep up to date USELESS of Windows Defender and installation USELESS malware remover?
I'm a computer technician who makes a TON of virus remove money from Windows computers. Two-thirds of my tasks of repair involving the elimination of viruses from Windows and trying to fix the Internet Explorer, the worst browser known to humanity.
I have a question about Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool. These are two programs entirely worthless, evidenced by the fact that computers with them installed still get infected of all viruses, Trojan and rootkit out there. Clearly, if these two programs of malware Microsoft has done anything to protect your computer, it would have been without having to release still a THIRD tool antivirus, "security essentials" for Microsoft. I'm not complaining — the way Microsoft Windows absorbs malware like a sponge, put a lot of money in my bank account. Please keep doing what you're doing... however...
My question is, given that Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool doing nothing to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?
Windows defender is not an antivirus program, it is designed to protect against spyware.
If you don't like them, so do not use them.

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

Windows Defender stop working after the malicious software removal tool
I ran windows software and after this removal tool, my windows Defender stopped working says its turned off, but when I try to turn it on nothing happens
This problem can occur because another security application is used or the Windows Defender service has stopped, or components of Windows Defender are corrupt.
You install any new programs recently? Windows Defender is not designed to protect against the extent of malware. If programs like Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender both run, your system may experience degradation in performance and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time. I recommend that you keep the Defender off if another application of security protection is running.
If no similar security application is installed, I suggest that we have follow these steps to resolve the problem:
Step 1: Check the Windows Defender service
=================================
1. click on start, in the search box, type: "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
2. double-click on the service "Windows Defender".
3. click on the 'general' tab. Make sure the "Startup Type" is "automatic". Then please click on "Start" under "Status of Service" to start the service.If the problem is not resolved, please refer to step 2:
Step 2: Save the associated DLL files
========================
1. click on start, type "cmd" (without the quotes) in the box start the search. Right click on CMD listed above and click 'run as administrator '.2. in the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER to each order:
regsvr32 atl.dll
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll
regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 mssip32.dll3. close the command prompt, and then run Windows Defender.
If the problem persists, please after return.

Hello
The last 3 months when the download and installation of my updates for Windows Vista, it gets stuck for hours on the malicious software removal tool. I have to cancel it. Restart the computer and reinstall. Then he moved very well and quickly according to historical updates. Last month, it was really difficult to cancell it well. He finally got through it. Here is a little history on my machine. I'm very very well with this computer. Each week, I do disk Cleanup, then defrag with diskeeper, virus scan with Microsoft Security Essentials. And every six months, I run a very large disk check and I said to correct errors and try to fix bad sectors. More than 3 years, I only had 2 minor bluescreens. I always make sure I have all my products Microsoft put updated. When I first got this computer I had a guy I.T. (a neighbor) out of the box and clean all the useless garbage out of it and it partitioned the hard drive. More than 3 years, he managed as a champion. Always very fast and all.
I hope that I'm not the only person having problems with this. Just start with the month of June, then July, then August.
P.S. I have 2 laptops running XP sp3, one is 9 years old and the other is 11 years old, he had 2000 top PRO, but I just put XP sp3 on it last month. They run too much like fields. I take good care of my computers with a little help from my friend IT. They have the same programs as this one and I do the same things to them, but they do not have this same problem with the release of the MSRT tool. Which leads me to think that it is specific to Vista only, I have a Windows 7 computer yet, so I can't speak for seven.
Any suggestions or ideas? We are scratching our heads on this one.
Thank you in advance for your time and help

Trouble updating windows malicious software removal tool, the download does not progress!
Title says it all, during the update live my machine has been slain on 11% for almost an hour during the update to the malicious software removal tool. Any advice?
Hi L Jaworski,
What is the updated article?
Restart your computer and turn on your computer in a clean boot State, and then try to update. Problem can be caused by a conflict of third-party software blocking the update process. Clean boot helps eliminate conflicts of third party software.
Note: Follow step 7 to your computer as usual.

Endangered malicious software removal tool?
I have downloaded and run the tool for removing malicious software on January 8 and she come clean but today I get a message that I have a malicious virus! Why would it be? Also today I can't locate the "Malicious Software Removal Tool" why would it?
The malicious software removal tool (MRT) is not a substitute for an antivirus application. When you download it, it runs once (the MRT is not active in the background or run whenever you start your computer) and then search existing infections that he recognizes and attempts to remove them.
After you have run the MRT, you stay vulnerable to subsequent infection of malicious software, including all the MRT having withdrawn, unless you have a separate anti-virus application with a current subscription.
A new version of the RMT, with malicious software update information is downloaded each month on "Patch Tuesday". If you want to re-run the MRT at any time until it is downloaded again next month, locate your computer MRT.exe. Normally, it is located in C:\Windows\system32.
