• 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 Defender and the malicious software removal tool not doing anything to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

  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.

• Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool 2010 November KB890830 monitor causing display problems.

  When I turned on the PC, my screen would go black. I turn off the monitor for a while, turn it back on. The screen would appear for a while then again black. After that 7 to 8 times to turn off the monitor, the screen would go black. This happens whenever I start the PC. After a restoration for a while before it started, the problem stopped.

  When I installed Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool 2010 November KB890830 again.

  No one knows why this happens?

• Microsoft® Windows® Malicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830), has - it stopped and had to be replaced?

  I have a program that tells me that the foregoing must put up-to-date but also says, in 'the details' that it has been discontinued, 'end of life' is mentioned. I should remove it completely, and is a replacement, any help please?

  Hi, 1 thank you a lot for your responses to my query. You gave me a good lesson on the search for info according to your instructions.

  I will definitely read the links on registry cleaning etc.
  I came across another thread with the same query as mine and after reading all the reviews, I decided to do the same thing that the "asker" which was to educate Secunia PSI to ignore instructions from manual update for the original program expired. Secunia PSI shows now 100% on my programs updated and everything seems to work OK.
  I obviously confused and put in the wrong program for removal in my 1st question.

  Malicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830), it should have been, (how to remove KB833330 - Blaster, Nachi removal tool?).

  This thread is that I came across. You may find it interesting to read and will no doubt understand all my comments confused and ignorant!

• Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830) - leads to errors of display adapter & turns off internet.

  Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830) - when this update is installed, to restart my graphics cards & adapter network (Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller) is no longer working.  On their uninstall, I was not able to re - install these devices.  The problem of network adapter prevents me from using the internet. I had to restore my function to return to normal.  This may correct or how I can choose not to install this update & have still "automatic updates?"

  Are you sure that the problem is caused by Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool?

  First, download the drivers for the device in question and is they don't are not already in a zip file, place them in a backup of the folder on your desktop. Once completed, click Start > run > type or paste mrt.exe > OK. Now run a quick scan. Once completed, check the results to see if the drivers for the device in question are detected as malware. Let us know the results and we can go from there.

  The following article can help you to solve this problem.

• Offered separately and after other Windows malicious software removal tool updates this month?

  As the header says, I was surprised to see THAT MRT for July 2013 offered after that I had installed all updates of updated patch Tuesday and I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't re-run WU.   Of course those who probably have to download and install automatically WU would not notice this.  I prefer to make my own.

  I noticed the same thing in Windows 7 and 8.

  Is it a new way of doing things?

  Hello laughingpaws,

  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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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!
