dude, no one asked if it would protect against getting Antivirus2010, I asked if it was effective in removing it from a system that had been infected. The reason I was asking is that MRT is *already* on her system from automatic updates versus her having to navigate to some site, download, install, and *then* run something more effective ... thanks for your prompt but irrelevant responses, I guess it keeps the conversations interesting. But please, if I ask for the time, just tell me what time it is, not how to make a better watch.

I don't even bother installing it. As for removing it, yes, I believe it does. However, since it only gets updated once a month, you would be much better off using something more recent. Especially since all these Antivirus malware apps have many variations, and may not get detected by whatever version(s) of AV2010 your friend may actually have. _____ From: Erik Goldoff [mailto:egold...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 11:01 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Malicious Software Removal Tool EXACTLY ...
