[QUOTE="plat, post: 908776, member: 74969"] Yes, mrt.exe can be run "on-demand" as opposed to the traditional method of monthly downloading and running upon restart. But as a second-opinion scanner, no, I would not use it in that capacity, because of the static signatures. Plus, mrt.exe will be deprecated to only four times a year,( my understanding,) instead of every month. This info is on the Wilders Security Forum's "Bork Tuesday" thread. Many 2ndop. scanners listed already are very useful and beneficial, my opinion. Norton Power Eraser in particular is impressive in dealing with false-positives. (y) [/QUOTE]
