Microsoft Malware Removal Tool

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

How do I run the malware removal tool manually? I don't see it anywhere in
my program files, but I'm certain I downloaded it as part of a recent update.

-amd

Yes, but is this the only way to run the tool manually? If I've downloaded
the malware removal tool onto my PC, shouldn't there be a program on my hard
drive?

Hi

When run from Windows Update, it will delete itself after
it is finished.

If you want to download and run it manually:
