The MRT.exe program keeps using 50% of my cpu all the time, how do I stop
I really need help... After you install the update for the MRT. EXE for it can always stay less and its made my computer run slow and my cpu runs at 10 degrees warmer... I need help it is so frustrating.
First of all, most of the people who respond on this forum is not related to Microsoft. Unless the machine is identified as a "Support Engineer" or "Microsoft moderator system" or similar, he or she is not employed by Microsoft. Thus, one who you "connected direct to" was not one of our "associates".
MRT.exe is the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool. A new version of this tool is included in the critical updates each month on "Patch Tuesday" (the first Tuesday of the month). It must run once - at the time download you - where and then be dormant for the rest of the month, except if you manually start upward.
Apparently, the nameless person with which you handled has not well understand this.
Have you ever received a message indicating that the MRT found something?
Click Start > run and then type the following in the run box, and then click OK
%SystemRoot%\Debug
A Windows Explorer window will open and you should see - at least - a file named mrt.log. Well, you will see another file named mrt.log.old, which is the last newspaper of the month.
Open the file with Notepad mrt.log. You should see something like the following:

MRT.exe does not run continuously. If so, something is wrong.
MRT.exe should be located in c: Windows\System32. If she is not there, look for your entire drive, making sure to check the search options "Search system folders", "search the hidden files and folders" and "Search subfolders". If you find MRT.exe somewhere other than C:\Windows\system32, it is probably malware masquerading as the real Malicious Software Removal Tool.
Everywhere where you find it, delete it. You can download the latest version of the MRT here.
I also suggest you analyzing your system with free MalwareBytes Antimalware and SUPERAntiSpyware. Be sure to update both scanners before their execution.
If, after you remove MRT.exe, you get an error at startup complain that MRT could not be found, download and run Autoruns. Click the 'Connection' tab and look in the column 'Image path' the MRT.exe. If it is not displayed in the connection tab, click the "all" tab and use the file > search tool. A characteristic of the search of Autoruns tool is that you must move the selection under the element line "found" before you "Find Next." Once you find the entrance with MRT.exe, delete it.

Hello Papastew10, I don't think it's something that makes Windows Vista. Sounds like that, it's something controlled by Mumble, so there should be some options for that somewhere.

When I started working, I always open the programs in a spesific order. This makes my job go quickly and efficiently. But now, after working for a while, programs suddenly going command on the taskbar. Once this is done I opened programs hurt all the time, it's funny how blocked one get into old habits by moving the slider to the place on the taskbar where you know that your program is supposed to be...
It's very boring, and nobody knows what is happening. I asked a lot of people with data skills, but none can give me the solution to get rid of the automatic order changes.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Log out and log in to the new account.

The back and forward arrows are grey all the time - how can I fix?
I am currently using firefox ver 21. However, the front and rear buttons are grayed out and will not work. I'd be happy to re - install the program, but how do I re - install without losing all my favorites and settings.
Please notify.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

hear a radio in the background; How can I stop it?
It happened only when I run internet explore. I tried an antivirus software. I tried the anti-malware software. nothing works. even after I close internet explore it continues to run away. I found it running a separate process of internet explorer, so I stop only via the Task Manager because you don't see any internet explore runnig. But whenever I have to use internet explorer, it starts again. I did reset of internet explore, but it doesn't help. He stopped working even microsoft security essential, or at least, it brings the disapper icon because I see the process in the Task Manager. I did not any changes to my computer before this questions.
Try to start Internet Explorer with no addons.
Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> Internet Explorer (no addons)
If it happens when you do this, then you can reduce to an add-on that is installed.
Then, go to tools-> manage Addons and start the activation and the deactivation of the addons until you find the one who is the origin of this behavior.Good luck

Hello
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your desktop.
Once the download is complete, close all browser windows and start the program uninstaller. Once done, restart the laptop.
Then, download and install Firefox , then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You can deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before download.
Close all browser windows before you run the installer of Flash.
Start Firefox and see if the video play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same link Adobe Flash above to get a command prompt to install the ActiveX component. Once completed, restart Internet Explorer.
If you still get the problem of loading, run a check of the speed of your internet connection by using a site like the one on the link below, where it is causing the problem.
Kind regards

This problem has only just begun and I don't know why. When I click the icon to open the Firefox browser, my homepage tab opens and another new tab opens to the sides of my Home Page tab. I checked and none are tube not characters in my address of the home page.
This seems to take place (e.g., Firefox opens my home page AND a new tab at startup - unsolved).
In case one of your extensions is in question, could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Mode safe help
Help > restart with disabled modules (Flash and other plugins still works)
In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)
Any difference when using the Home key or open a new window (Ctrl + n)?
