Hi Alan,
If you already saved the update on the disk, run the computer in safe mode
(restart your computer, press F8, select Safe mode and press Enter). Logon
to the computer, using the local administrator account. Rename the folder
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and run the tool from your computer. It
should run a system scan. After the scan completes, open the registry editor
(Start/Run/regedit) and open
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RemovalTools\MRT. On the right side
you should see the following values:
"EULA"=dword:00000001
"Version"="79e385d0-5d28-4743-aeb3-ed101c828abd"
"GUID"="E4440C8D-656C-4495-9F34-C83E4B0ECA7B"
If the values do not match, just change the values to the ones above. Then
restart your computer, open the Windows Update site and run an update check.
If the tool scanned the computer successfully and it is reoffered again, you
can click to select Do not offer this update again.
If the tool did not scan the computer successfully, try installing it from
the Windows Update site and check the C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log for
errors.

Anton Pegan

Hi Anton,
I have tried that and for a few hours it seemed to have done the trick.
However... I have just had a prompt to download updates and guess what it
is
for KB890830, I downloaded it again and two minutes later I get another
prompt !
Any more ideas ?
many thanks,
Alan B

Hi Alan,
The registry key, where versions of MSRT are stored, is probably
corrupted.
First you should clean the update database:
Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter
--> net stop WuAuServ
--> Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press
Enter.
--> In the opened folder, rename the folder
SoftwareDistribution to SDold.
--> Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter.
--> net start WuAuServ.
Then open the registry and clean the current version entry:
Click Start, Run type regedit and press Enter
--> open the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RemovalTools\MRT
--> right click MRT key and choose Export
--> name the key MRT and save it on the desktop
--> remove all the entries, except the Default
entry
--> download the tool from the link below and
save
it to the disk:
MicrosoftR WindowsR Malicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?amp;displaylang=en&familyid=AD724AE0-E72D-4F54-9AB3-75B8EB148356&displaylang=en
--> run the tool from your computer
If this does not help, you can try installing it in Safe mode (restart
your
computer, press F8, select Safe mode and press Enter).

I keep getting a prompt to download the Malicious Software Removal Tool
for
October, I go to Microsoft Update to download it, click on Run etc.
Shortly
after I get a new prompt to download the same tool ! Update history
shows
it
as downloaded numerous times,my registry only shows September as last
tool.
After I have clicked "Run" nothing else happens, is this correct.
