Just an add-on to say that we did the manual download of the MRT (from the
page your suggested) and ran the test. The result did NOT show a PID warning,
just the results that no infections were found. I wonder if that manual
download we did (and executed) would give the same results as the MRT.exe in
our Sys32? It appears that there is only one log file for all results. One
again we wonder if the KB890830 we download each month is the MRT.exe that
shows in the Sys32? Is the MRT.exe in the Sys32 the current KB890830 that we
download each month (does it cchange to the newest one each month)? What I am
trying to say is - is the MRT.exe in the Sys32 the most current one? Or would
we always have to go to that ddownload page you supplied in case we had to
run the MRT again in the future, or would the one in the Sys32 be okay to
use? Thanks again.
