It normally comes Preinstalled or one can download it from Microsoft. MRT will scan the entire hard disk and hunt down infected software. The Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool differs from an antivirus product in three key ways: *The tool removes malicious software from an already-infected computer. Antivirus products block malicious software from running on a computer. It is significantly more desirable to block malicious software from running on a computer than to remove it after infection. *The tool removes only specific prevalent malicious software. Specific prevalent malicious software is a small subset of all the malicious software that exists today. *The tool focuses on the detection and removal of active malicious software. Active malicious software is malicious software that is currently running on the computer. The tool cannot remove malicious software that is not running. However, an antivirus product can perform this task. click Start, click Run, type MRT, click OK. Allow it to Scan your computer. IF you do not have MRT, you may safely download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD724AE0-E72D-4F54-9AB3-75B8EB148356&displaylang=en Microsoft will release an updated version of this tool on the second Tuesday of each month.
