I've now had this happen to me twice...that is, I've now gotten stuck in a
state where the mrt.exe uses 90+% while never seeming to end. Each time I've
solved the problem by doing a system restore to earlier times. I now have
Windows Update waiting to install the tool again. What should I do?
Below is the content of my mrt.log file stored in c:\windows\debug\
