Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool are listed as EXPIRED UPDATES in my
WSUS3.0

Perhaps there's a problem with it.

Strange thing is, I did a manual update on 2 Windows Server 2003, on Dec 9
at around 2 PM Pacific Time. Both servers picked up MRT update.

MRT.EXE file properties:
Version 2.5.2419.0
Size 16.7MB
Digital Signature timestamp: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 1:26:47 PM

none of them are connected
and i have been running the tool manually- which yes is a pita
but how come Microsoft did not put it in Automatic updates?
It always is. Hopefully they will look in here and figure it out.

I am just surprised why it is not in WU.
and i did see it when i went to download it that it is dated the 10th.
Strange

Not seeing it here from neither AU nor WU, robin. Sounds like you need
the tool for 40 systems not networked ... correct ?
That can't be done as it won't run remotely.
You can do a manual install onto the remote systems but that would be a
HUGE PITA:

As to why MRT has not come down in some locations ... ?
