Malicious Software Removal Tool in Windows

Hello Eddie,

Did you use something like this below to block it?

Applications - Prevent Running Specified Programs - Windows 7 Help Forums

No, I was just reading the post about the malicious software removal program, and decided to try to run it.

It wouldn't hurt to check step 5 in option two to see if you may have mrt.exe listed or not.

Do you remember if you used AppLocker to block anything?

Tried that, and there is no drop down menu under Policies for Explorer. I've never used AppLocker.

Well, I suppose let's see a screenshot of this message to see if it may reveal more about what may have blocked it.

I wish I could, but the screen is greyed out and I can't click on anything. It's a dark grey box with two options - 'Copy to clipboard' and 'Close'

Are you signed in to an administrator account?

I'm signed in on a standard account,but running mrt as admin.

As a test, will it run while signed in to an admin account?

I will try and let you know.
