Now, it is updated monthly to include checking for all the newest nasties. When the detection and removal process is complete, the tool displays a report describing the outcome, including which, if any, malicious software was detected and removed. ![]() The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool checks computers running Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 for infections by specific, prevalent malicious software-including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom-and helps remove any infection found. So I did some research and found that Microsoft actually have a site dedicated to telling you what the MRST is all about. Now for months I’ve simply applied the update as a normal part of the process not even caring what it does. When you do a Microsoft Update every month (I hope you do!) then you’ll find that one of the items listed is the Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT for short) update.
