Re: Malicious Software Removal Tool - signs that it was running

You receive an error when you run the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891717/

0x8050800C The system state prohibits the scan from running in a specific user context.
Restart the computer and retry the scan.

Has anyone tried running the full scan rather than the quick scan? On W2K/Sp4, I get error 8050800C on full scan. There are also various PID errors in the log. This only has started since Feb '07 release.
