I concur, but thought it might be a handy first pass since she wouldn't have to try to navigate IE anywhere to download and install ( like for malwarebytes ) if it had any effect at all on antivirus2010

I always thought it was obsessed with the more widespread virus variants, although I haven't checked the documentation that comes with it for a long time. 2010/1/27 Erik Goldoff <egold...@gmail.com> Just a quick question, anyone know for sure if the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool is effective against the Antivirus 2010 malware ? ( heard from a non-tech friend out of state that got hit on her netbook ) Thanks Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !
