    What is the difference between MRT and MSERT?


    Hello, a while back I installed MSERT on the request of one of the Independent Advisors here, I had a fakse positive, but at the time I didnt know for sure so I installed it and scanned, but anyways, what is the difference if MRT and MSERT? They seem quite similar to each other.

    MSERT

    Hello All, thanks for your responses.

    I downloaded the MSERT from Microsoft support and there's

    only 3 options to scan. Quick scan, Full scan and Quick scan with

    a custom file addition. The first Quick scan showed 232 infections

    while scanning as I stated. Well I ran a full scan and found 243 while

    scanning. It seems to be finding the Pups in each scan but DOESN'T

    remove them.?

    At the root of my problem is. I was hacked last week and want to be sure

    I'm clean as possible. Does it sound like MSERT has been helpful? I've locked

    down and changed the necessary items.

    What's a needed next step? much thanks SK.

    Desktop shortcut for MRT Run Command? How to?

    Just to make the process more clear, in case someone needs it, below are the steps...


    Type 'mrt' in search > Click 'Open File Location' > Right click 'MRT' > Click 'Create Shortcut' > Click 'Yes'.

    At least this is how I accomplished it.


    Your shortcut to MRT Run Command, will now be on your desktop.


    Regards to all.

    MSERT

    What are the 243 infected files found while scanning? When MSERT finishes, it says; The scan completed successfully and no viruses, spyware, and other potentially unwanted software were detected.
