Anyone used this yet? (http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx)I wonder if it is any good. :confused:


Start, Run, mrt.

It's targeted at specific malware that can cause patches and Service Packs to fail, but otherwise, it doesn't seem good for much. Sadly, just like Windows Defender, it's mostly useless. I don't think there is a better malware solution than Spybot right now. I don't think any "for pay" software outperforms it, and in spite of all the professionals that I respect telling me how good Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is, I still think Spybot is the best general defense.

MSRT downloads and runs every month - if this fails to run, you want to know why!

I agree it's limited but if it doesn't run, it can speak volumes

I agree, spybot is still the best, but Malware bytes is easier for customers to use and provides a log they can find and email to me quickly and easily.
