Since this tool is an anti virus/anti malware utility, you question would be bet posed in
anti virus News Groups
such as...

microsoft.public.security.virus
alt.comp.virus
alt.comp.anti-virus...

The utility is...
%windir%\system32\MRT.exe

Command line switches...

/? or /HELP = displays the command line switches
/Q = quiet
/N = detect only
/F = force extended scan
/F:Y = force extended scan and automatically clean infected files

The following is the resultant log file...

%windir%\Debug\mrt.log

Hi,

run mrt.exe on your computer and it will run. It will also automatically run
ever time it is updated (e.g. once a month)...

For more information...

The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool helps remove specific,
prevalent malicious software from computers that are running Windows Server
2003, Windows XP, or Windows 2000

I hope this helps

Fat fingers prevented it from being downloaded on a particular server.. not
that I'm against it, per se, just that I already have a more versatile
solution.

Like the "other" MS scanning tools, it ran directly and held everything up,
until I was able to click an OK button on an unattended server in a Dark
computer room...

It works, it's free, beware ye all that ye download )
