Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool is an anti-malware utility that checks Windows computers for infections by specific malicious software.

Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool or MSRT scans Windows computers for common malware infections and removes them. MSRT is not a replacement for an antivirus or antimalware products but is intended as a complementary tool that helps clean up infected systems. Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool targets specific, prevalent malware families. Those infection types include Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom and helps remove malware and any other infection that may be found.

When the detection and malware removal process is complete, the tool displays a report describing the outcome, including which malware was detected and removed.

For scanning and live protection, consider downloading Malwarebytes.
