On Microsoft Vista and later operating systems, UAC will prompt you to allow it tor run.Īfter a run of MSRT has finished, you will find the log at C:\WINDOWS\Debug\mrt.log or C:\WINNT\Debug\mrt.log Manual on-demand download ( for latest version ) and manual run.ĭownload the Microsoft® Windows® Malicious Software Removal Tool from the Microsoft Download Center
Notice the Microsoft Windows name on the title bar plus also on the second bar on that window. Keep in mind That User Account Control ( UAC) will show the name "Microsoft" and the publisher as Microsoft Windows. If they wish to get and run "manually" ( ie, on demand ) the latest version of Microsoft Malicious Software Removal tool, they can do their own download and run. If in doubt as to the legitimacy of that item, they could end the process using Task Manager.īut keep in mind that the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal tool is MRT.exe and does reside at that location. MRT is part of each monthly Windows Update release. It's better all around if your friend created their own post and posted diagnostic reports as per this postĭo they have a screen image capture of "the item in question"?ĭid they start a Windows Update run, perhaps ?
