Question about Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool?

Question

I used Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool last night and it's very good, but where is it now? I downloaded it from the Microsoft website and it ran a scan but how do I get to it if I want to use it again? Do I have to download it from Microsoft every time I want to use it? Cos I can't find it on my PC

Answer 1

GO TO START THAN TO PROGRAMS IT SHOULD BE THERE  RIGHT CLICK  AND GET IT TO SHOW ON UR DESK TOP IF U WANT...

Answer 2

It runs natively on your computer. You still should consider using Spybot S&D or Ad-Aware, though. MRT is actually not a very good program as it misses a lot of things.

Answer 3

once it has done its stuff it removes itself,

it is downloaded and run once a month without you knowing about it, but only if you have automatic updates turned on,

i think they send out the latest version to run on the first thursday of every month, as i have already mentioned it runs without you knowing about it .

you will be alerted if it finds something...

Answer 4

Look in your windows folder, or just search for it.  It is there, but as it takes only a second to download and it is being continually updated as more malicious programs come on the 'market' its best to upload latest version.
