Re: Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool

The file is downloaded, and the newest version is stored on your computer
every month - when it is updated.

Look in C:\Windows\System32 for mrt.exe

You can manually run this tool whenever you desire.

This tool does not install anywhere. It only scans the machine.

See here:
"Note that the tool is not actually installed on a computer. Therefore, no
entry is created for it in the Programs folder or in Add or Remove
Programs."

I downloaded the original of this programme to a Desktop weeks ago and have
been receiving the automatic updates, scheduled for 08.00 daily.
I cannot find this programme elsewhere, not even in Add/Remove, whilst all
other programme, which have a shortcut on the Desktop also has an entry
somewhere, mostly in Programmes.
My question is this; - how do I confirm that all updates are activated in
the programme shown as a shortcut on the Desktop, whilst every time I
click
on it to scan the computer I get a notice telling me to check on Microsoft
Update web for the latest version?
