My system tried to do an Automatic Update (4-files). Three were installed
but the Malicious Removal Tool did not. Went back to installtion history and
Microsoft showed this Error Ox800706BE. Rebooted my machine and the history
still shows that the updated did not download correctly (x?).

Troubleshooting suggested that I go to Control Panel and remove the file.
Went to Control Pannel and do not see the file to be removed.

Thank you for your HELP!!!!!!!

Doesn’t actually install from WU, just runs, does what it has to do and then
disappears.
Quote “Microsoft will release an updated version of this tool on the second Tuesday
of each month. New versions will be made available through this Web page, Windows
Update, and the Microsoft Download Center”

Try a manual download and run the tool.

Yes it does install. You can always run it . The exe resides in C:\Windows\System32. The name of the exe is MRT.Exe. Click on the file and the Tool will run

Malicious Software Removal Tool
http://www.updatexp.com/malicious-so...oval-tool.html

<snip>The new tool will download and run a scan on your computer to see if there is
any malicious software running...
The software does not install itself ......
