Thank you for the information, but since the only way I can Run the scan
is from the shortcut Icon on the Desktop, my original question was:- does
this icon include all the Updates? If not, what do I use to initiate a
manual scan?

***********************************

Seeing as how mrt.exe is always placed in the same folder, if you place a
shortcut of mrt.exe on your desktop, it will always run the latest version.

***********************************

One more bit of information. My computer is being scanned at 13.00 daily
for about 8-10min. and I can categorically say that this scan is not
initiated by any of my other programmes. I checked and rechecked! So, is
this Malicious Software Removal Tool scan?

***********************************

Again, mrt.exe only runs automatically when it is downloaded during the
monthly hotfix download cycle.
Can you make it run automatically? Of course, if you want to. Just schedule
it to run with the scheduling program. But it is limited in that it only
looks for a handful of the most common and troublesome malware problems.

It is done automatically ONLY when the update is initially downloaded
during the monthly release cycle. After that it manual if you want it to
run.
