| Hello,
|
| I've just read article 891716 and I have a question about it:
|
| "Q3. How can I block this update from being sent to my computers through
| Automatic Updates?
| A3. You can set the registry key described in Q2, and the tool will not
| appear on Windows Update or on Automatic Updates."
|
| OK, this is what I want to know, so I go back to Q2. The subkey is:
|
| HKLM\software\microsoft\removaltools\mrt
|
| Fine! But how do I block the update? This information is lacking...
|
| Is there anybody out there that knows how to block it? Am I missing
| something?
|
| Thank you very much!
|
Why block it in the first place ?
It is only a "On Demand", mostly Internet worm, scanner. It is only a few MBs worth of disk
space, may detect an infector on your PC and is pretty muuch non-intrusive.
