    Malware intrusions are here to stay, one must remain vigilant.
    Here in the UK over the weekend Tesco, a large Superstore was raided over the net, 40,000 customers details were seized of which 20,000 had monies taken from their accounts.
    Tesco are reimbursing all of them.

    Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) November 2016

    Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool runs multiple times daily - not once per month as expected

    I may suspect the expected fix was not included with the February (V33) release, nor this latest version is listed (same as for the Jan-V32 as quoted above) in

    KB890830     (Last Review: 02/09/2016 18:46:00 - Revision: 162.0)?

    Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) November 2016

    I ran this tool previously on the pervious WIN 10 build but not on the Anniversary build.
    I sort of assumed all protection would be in place when using Windows Defender.

    Much to my surprise therefore, on running the tool this evening, out pops one infected file so far!

    Will post the results as soon as the scan is complete.

    Ran MRT. 6 Files were identified as a problem. MRT completed, but could not see what was done and the log does not show what files were affected or what was done to correct?
