Guest Mike F Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Every month, Automatic update goes nuts with this Malicious Software removal tool. It installs it, then 2 minutes later it wants to install again, again, and again.... I shut down, and I start up the next day and there it is ready to install again. I do a custom install and when it's done it says the install was complete. I close the window and few minutes later the update icon is in the task bar. I located the mrt.exe file and ran it. It's from Apr 2006. I went directly to the website and downloaded the tool, with the same results. How can I correct this problem.
Guest Rich D Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I am having the same problem as Mike F is having ! I have updated this update 10 times in two days . The icon never leaves from my tray? What is the solution to this update problem ?!

Guest Mike F Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 I solve my problem, I located and rename mrt.exe to mrt.old. Thats the file that gets downloaded every month. I found it in windows\system32 folder. I hope this helps..
