Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool
Oct 12, 2006
I am getting this Security Alter message saying that " Your computer is infected with last version of PSW.x-Vir trojan. I recently downloaded this program called Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. Hopefully this program will help me remove this trojan, but if anyone can let me know about what programs i could use to remove or if anyone could help me remove this trojan that would be greatful. Also i am getting this message on my toolbar with an x and a question mark on top of it saying that your system detected virus activities and when i click on it, it sends me to this weblink http://www.virusburst.com/?aff=321.

I'm just getting to play with it but I can't find it in any of the start menus or control panel. The MS KB points me to a web-based tool

I reformatted a friend's computer and reinstalled XP from the disk. Rather than mess around with SP2 I went ahead and installed SP3 afterwards. When it was in the process of installing the IE (whatever one comes with it), the MSRT tool cropped up and found over 435 files that were "infected".

Has anyone received a duplicate automatic update notification on Microsoft Malicious Software Tool I had KB890830 installed automatically on 02/14 and then KB890830 (the same number) again on 02/15. I really don't know how good this tool is anyway - now it makes me wonder if Microsoft has a problem with it

I received an update message icon from microsoft. The updates included security for Windows 2000, which is my OS system, and Malicious Removal Tools. Before the installation of these updates, the wired Internet connection in my computer was OK. However, after I installed these updates, my wired Internet connection failed. I tried to restart my computer, updated driver for my network card 3 COM 3C920B-EMB, but I could not re-establish the Internet connection. the wireless Internet connection at my sister's computer was OK, the wired Internet connection at my friend's computer was also OK

I just noticed, when trying to do my daughters homework, that I no longer have the Office Folder or Short Cut. It must have disappeared as a result of my work done on this machine after it was impacted by Malware VX2. That is the only thing I can think of. I cant locate the Office discs so I cant reload. If I find a WORD document, I can open it and use WORD. HOW CAN I RESTORE THE TOOL BAR in Windows XP without the Office disc?

The system process "c:windowssystem32services.exe terminated unexpectedly with the status code 1073741819" then the computer would reboot. I have run spyware scans, virus scans and adware scans and removed all the spyware and adware tha was found. There was nothing found using Microsoft Malware remover Tool. I attempted to repair the XP install and that is when the blue screen with the stop code named in the title appeared when I rebooted. Is or has anyone else had and resolved this issue? If so please let me know how.

I use to update my Xp SP-2 regularly from MS website. Now a days it is insisting to install "Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)" first to proceed for downloading update files.Is it a FORCE or I can bypass this tool. I do not want to install it, as somebody told me this is a tool by MS to takeout personal information on my OS (XP) and MS Office and other MS Software.I know I use genuine legal copy.But why should I allow MS to take more information ? Is not WPA through internet is not sufficient ? Can this tool take information on other products/3rd party software like NERO,MS OFFICE and ArcSOft ?

I ran LiveUpdate on Norton Systemworks 2003. It updated LI only, and asked me to reboot. I did. I also, following some advice I found on TSG during a Google search, switched the Speed Disk service to "manual", as it was causing my HD to work overtime. As it was nearly 1am by then, I went off to bed. My system is protected by ZoneAlarm, Spybot resident, Norton Systemworks with auto updates. I do, however, have a broadband connection and leave the system on at night. I'm running Windows 2000 Pro. Monitor hadn't powersaved. Rightclick had stopped working, clicking on anything in my startbar had no effect, except "start", but that would only bring up the 4 items that would be above 'programs', and I couldn't click on them either. So, I rebooted, and everything worked fine. I was on the system for around 1/2 hour,I went downstairs for breakfast, and when I returned I found it in the same state.

There's an e-mail doing the rounds inviting recipients to download SP3 for XP and on the face of it, giving a web address of windows.com etc. On close examination, the second "w" in Windows is actuall two "v"s and anyone visiting this site is likely to get a nasty surprise. That's why I'm not posting any links and also why I'm forwarding thios posting to a Mod who may care to make it Sticky

i have windows XP home edition service pack 3. and i use Microsoft office 2003, and well recently it began to pop up and say microsoft office word has not been installed for current user. please run setup utility. Well i only have one user, never had another user created until recently (temporary fix) is there anything i can do, the main user is called the owner, it says its the computer admin, but i guess there is still an admin user, i cant get to that. the only way i can get ms office to work was to create a new user, open all the office programs, export the office registry, and import it to my main user, thats the only thing that works, for a little bit.
