Malicious Software Tool Remover, not!

Good morning all,

 

As I was looking through all the updates, I saw numerous for "Malicious Software Tool Remover" (MSTR).  As I continue to learn about the contents and workings of my computer,  I decided to take a look at this tool.  To my surprise, it was nowhere to be found.  Imagine a year of updates for something I do not have; or do I?

 

In any case, I checked the Microsoft's download site for the MSTR.  Although I found it, I am not sure if this is the appropriate one for my computer since it indicates it is the x64 version.

 

Can anyone offer further information?

 

Thank you,

 

Nissi1

    Hi,
    When the tool is downloaded, it runs at that time, upon completion when nothing is detected it's gone forever. If something is detected it will notify you. If you need to run it again it must be downloaded from the Microsoft site.

    Good morning Bacillus,

     

    Thank you for the information.  I felt there must have been another way of running this tool other than going to the Microsoft's website.

     

    God Bless you.
