How Do You Use The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool?

0

Easy steps to use the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to check your computer for malware. By default, the tool can be found in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. Once you open this location, search for a file called mrt.exe. If you don’t find this file, it means that this tool is not installed on your PC. In this case you can download it directly from the Microsoft Download Center. After opening MRT.EXE, you’ll see the Welcome window, click Next. Now you need to select the type of scan you want the tool to perform. You have three possible options: Quick scan, Full scan and Customized scan. If you did not scan your PC before and you don’t have a reliable antivirus solution installed, you might want to select Full scan. Once you selected the option you prefer, click Next. When finished you will see the results. The program does not have any shortcut in Start Menu nor desktop or Quick Launch area. Actually WMSRT runs in the background once every month without your knowledge
