Pretty cool, I didn't know that.I think it scans when you install it right?
Yes I think it scans automatically, in the background, on install. After that you can run it whenever you like via Start. Run> mrt.

What the hell?This topic was created by slowday444 and when I clicked it there was no post... So I responded and got the first post in the topic.
In a similar vein, I posted in Lounge > Oscar Nominations > post#17, and although it is there, it does not show up on the main topic screen.
XanaTos112, who I was replying to, probably has no idea it`s there. Until now.

The tool was made to prevent the epidemic like spread of those infections to machines that aren't kept up.(you know 99% of all computers. )
Here is a list of all the infections it fixes:
