Check the comment on the Malicious Software Removal Tool (MRT.exe). It is a
standalone .exe file so all you need to do is delete it from
C:\WINDOWS\System32\'MRT.exe'

How to remove Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool? (KB890830)

Need advice how to remove correctly the Windows Malicious Software Removal
Tool installed with automatic updates. (KB890830)
What files to delete and where?

Many microsoft Windows users who downloaded this AntiSpyware program from
microsoft, or had it installed through an automatic Windows update, woke up
to a surprise - the heuristics of the software detected Internet Explorer as
spyware, and removed the program from their systems.
However, users of alternative browsers were just happy to see Internet
Explorer gone. I still want keep Internet Explorer, anyway and dont think
the MRT tool is useful.

thanks.

You don't know what your are talking about!
BTW, the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool is *not* an AntiSpyware
program.

You don't make any sense!

I saw no reports of this phenomena. Do you have some facts to share
with the rest of us?

You do know that's a joke, right and that the joke refers to Windows
Defender [aka MS Antispyware], *not* the MRT ?
