Windows Maliscious Software Removal Tool

[Laska]

I have Windows Maliscious Software Removal Tool on my Computer & I know I do because it constantly Updates itself.
I can not for the life of me find out how, or where to access it
and no matter where I look or Search, on my Computer, I can not find it.
Does anyone know where it is or how to turn it on ?

It's a small tool run with updates. It only removes VERY specific pieces of malware, so in general it's not particularly a good idea to use it as a anti-malware solution.

c:\windows\system32\mrt.exe

but when i double-click the exe, it seems nothing happen.

Well just get an Antivirus, a firewall, and  perhaps a spyware removal program if you want one and that' is enough in my opinion 

Good that Malicious tool is  being provided and updated and it's not too big so don't think too much on it.

In your start menu click run and then type in MRT. That will run the program. Like the others have said it's specific to what it removes.

Start > Run and type mrt.exe then click OK.

Or you could create a shortcut to your Quick Launch...
