How to Use Malicious Software Removal Tool in Windows

I have same issue. Do I dl the tool or the kb890830 from the catalog. I do not see my w-7 version in catalog, it's W-7 2009 sp-1



Thank you

@gary777 are u running 32bit or 64bit Windows 7? just download the tool for which ever version u are running..

Thank you, I am running 64 bit, will dl the tool as you advised....All done, November version ran perfect!

Now, it seems MS has deleted the defective kb890830. The list of Updates to install, said deleted one update. They then added a Service stack update. These usually mean revisions to the downloader / installer that handles the Update process.


So all is fixed... for now.

I don't understand how anyone could have downloaded MSRT manually or otherwise. Three times it failed to download for me. But I've just visited the MS website here to try and manually download it. But when I clicked on the link, all I got was a server error.

No wonder it failed to download.

I downloaded from here back then, still works:

It will update your version in few seconds behind the scenes and then will ask to scan your machine (what basically happens in the background when updating from the Windows Update)

I think you guys need to read this from the askwoody.com web site:
Born: Microsoft incorrectly signed the MSRT update that’s been bouncing around. It’s fixed now. @ AskWoody

Thanks.

However, once I installed it manually (when they stopped pushing it), it did update the version, it didn't just run anything.

How do I know?

I started MSRT before I updated and scanned the machine, thinking it might look for an update as part of the wizard. Since it didn't (still showed "October"), I manually downloaded the November (latest version) and once I ran it and went through the scanning wizard until it finished, I started it again from Start Menu and it did show "November" instead of "October" this time.

As for Windows 10 1909, seems like they resolved it as it updated automatically.

Had a look today at updates and this one wasn't there, maybe MS has pulled it?

I guess you did not fully read the contents of this thread.. there are some useful links and comments that explain everything (and yes, seems to be pulled for now though totally available for manual download).
