Re: Uninstall/removal of MRT (Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool)
here's another reason to get rid of this horrible tool:
Last night i installed the latest automatic update from microsoft (Malicious Software Removal of September 2011). it appears to have removes some iTunes components so that they no longer work (Apple Application Support). also the iTuners uninstaller got "stuck" so have cancelled. i am reinstalling iTunes. caution!
NOTE: I have re-installed all 3 components. this makes me want to switch to an iMAC !
(this "Malicious Software Removal" Tool has also uninstalled my CanoScan 9000f scanner driver. it also seems to have mucked up an installed game that no longer starts. who knows what else!)
Re: Uninstall/removal of MRT (Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool)
I have removed the single file several times and it always reinstalls itself. Can someone let me know how to completely remove it permanently?
