    MSRT or MSS


    This is a curiosity question. I have MSRT Malicious Software Removal Tool, and I have MSS Microsoft Safety Scanner on my computer. I ran MSRT first with it doing a full scan and it found no malicious software. Then I ran MSS doing a full scan and it found 4 software infections. Which one of the programs are telling me the truth? MSRT or MSS. MSRT scanned over 1,000,000 files and so did MSS on my computer, yet I have two different results. Once again, I use MSRT first and then MSS.

    :)

    The Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) is quite a useless and antiquated tool...

    It might show during scanning any number of "infected" files but at the end of the scanning come to the conclusion that they were not infected. The result counts...

    Suggestion to read these older threads (especially the posts of Rob Koch and quietman and GreginMich) which are explaining a bit about the "usefulness" of the MSRT...

    I, personally, never even download/use it...

    Removal program (MSRT) doesn't remove Infected files

    Bernie,

    The Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) is quite a useless and antiquated tool which tends to throw all kinds of errors and misinformation...

    MSRT Download link is Broken

    Well, that's interesting. I checked my update history, and there's nothing listed for MSRT clear back to July. Come to think of it, I don't recall seeing an update to it for some time.
