Re: Malicious Software Removal Tool

If he's running it Full Scan he probably downloaded it and is running it
from his machine directly.

| Please let me know if there is a more appropriate discussion forum for
this
| question.
|
| Is there a maximum number of files that MSRT will check?
|
| I ask this because on two occasions now, my display has gone
'unretrievably
| black' (HD still being accessed) afer about 2.5 hours of MSRT execution
(Full
| Scan). I noticed on the second scan that there were almost a million
files
| processed. After 'doing something else for a bit', I found the situation
| described above (for the second time).
|
| Background:
| I have just done a repair install of XP SP2 on a T60. Actually, this was
| after doing an XP repair install, and messing up an SP2 upgrade. I then
did
| the XP SP2 repair install using a slipstream CD. Nice. Next time, I
will try
| to add drivers; e.g., for the XP SATA 'issue'.

Tim:

Are your running the MRT from command line or are you just obtaining it
through Auto Updates
?
