Windows update downloads it and automatically runs it. Apparently Microsoft will be releasing a new version every month and you are supposed to update the tool every month. The tool creates a log file named mrt.log in the %WINDIR%\debug folder. Here are some links and more info. The first one is a link to where you run the tool from the web. The second link is where you can download the tool. And then some KB articles about the tool and deploying it. http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx#run http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD724AE0-E72D-4F54-9AB3-75B8EB148356&displaylang=en http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890830 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891716 ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
