MS Malicious Software Removal Tool

You can add registry key from post #12 and it will not show again.

 

Thanks I'll try it.

 

I used to use it until I turned off WU in advance of the Windows 7 October "patchocalypse." I don't plan to use it further, preferring a different second-opinion tool.

Woody Leonhard has more on the MSRT telemetry:

I remember when I posted this in February on the Borked Updates Thread:

Maybe Microsoft is reading the Forums.

 

I don't even know how I run it. Does it scan upon reboot if installed?

 

Thanks. A neat scanner that works in a -q mode.
