After the download, this tool runs one time to check your computer for infection by specific, prevalent malicious software (including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom) and helps remove any infection that is found. If an infection is found, the tool will display a status report the next time that you start your computer. A new version of the tool will be offered every month. If you want to manually run the tool on your computer, you can download a copy from the Microsoft Download Center, or you can run an online version from microsoft.com. This tool is not a replacement for an antivirus product. To help protect your computer, you should use an antivirus product.

3 of my 64-bit W7 OSes can't download it to install. :( Other monthly huge update package was fine in all.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. :)

Answer 1

Try downloading and running the delta patch for MSRT from the the Update Catalog.

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB890830

Select the x64 for Windows 7 (second on list) Download and you will be presented with two files (select bottom file).

Patch file (~6.77 MB): windows-kb890830- x64v5.77delta_acd7b02e03c86f374a14271a7b0844a3e4ad64dc.exe

Note: See EDIT at bottom of this post.

Save file then double click to install. It should update the version of mrt.exe on your machine to 5.77.16547.2. If successful the Malicious Software removal Tool should appear. Do the default Quick Scan then reboot computer and check Windows Updates again.

Hope this helps*.*

You're not alone... Other people report this as well. Not only on Windows 7...

Answer 3

Any 3rd party anti virus, security, cleanup programs ever installed on the computer?

Answer 4

Also not working for me on Win 7 Pro+SP1, 32-bit OS today too. Tried 2x, got error message 800B0109 for MSRT KB890830 2x. Three other updates (MSE, Rollup and Office) all installed OK.

Use MSE on this PC, and occasionally run ccleaner and malwarebytes (on demand scans only).

Not in the 2 VMs with clean 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 OS. I did use W7's Disk Cleanup many times though. https://pastebin.com/raw/4rf5PfzN for my decade old real PC's W7 HPE SP1's WU log.
