Windows 10: MRT.exe

HiOn my Windows 7 Laptop I have two very large items in the system32 folder that seem to be ralated to the removal of malicious software etc which is a monthly update from Microsoft. As I use the Norton 360 software this would seem to be unnecessary and I would like to remove the two items, MRT.exe and KB890830, from my laptop.Can I do this and how to go about it.When the monthly malicious removal update appears I shal hide it so it doesn't install anything.RegardsEric Athroll

1. Run as Administrator:
   
   • Give the MRT application a right-click.
     
   • Choose "Run as administrator" from the menu.
     
   • If it asks for a password, pop it in.
     
2. Check User Account Control (UAC) Settings:
   
   • Make sure your UAC settings aren't set to the max. You can tweak this in Control Panel > User Accounts > Change User Account Control settings.
     
3. Keep MRT Updated:
   
   • Make sure you've got the latest version of the Malicious Software Removal Tool. Microsoft regularly sends out updates to tackle new threats.
     
4. Scan for Malware:
   
   • There might be some sneaky malware causing trouble. Run a full scan with a solid antivirus or anti-malware program.
     
5. Windows Updates:
   
   • Ensure your Windows OS is up-to-date with all the latest patches.

Hello Soumyadeep Ghorui,

MRT is usually in C:\Windows\System32

If it's unavailable when you type in Run: mrt

then you can download it from here:

MRT 32-bit

MRT 64-bit

Regards,

I want to tell that mrt app in my windows runs very smoothly without any problem but when I try to open it and when I try to closing it without opening it it shows you must be logged on as a member of the administrators group to run the mrt tool. Is it a genuine msg from mrt tool or is there any problem if it is showing.
