Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) is a free anti-malware scanner distributed monthly by Microsoft through Windows Update. It targets specific prevalent malware families that are known to be circulating. The tool scans for and removes malware including viruses, worms, trojans, and rootkits.
