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.

You're absolutely right, that's also my opinion. However I do have a client
who complains about Microsoft doing things on his pc he hasn't asked for
blah, blah, blah...
So my question is still open...
There is something missing in the article.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RemovalTools\MRT Subkey
As per the KB these GUIDs are:
Release Value data
January 2005 E5DD9936-C147-4CD1-86D3-FED80FAADA6C
February 2005 805647C6-E5ED-4F07-9E21-327592D40E83
March 2005 F8327EEF-52AA-439A-9950-CE33CF0D4FDD
April 2005 D89EBFD1-262C-4990-9927-5185FED1F261
May 2005 08112F4F-11BF-4129-A90A-9C8DD0104005
June 2005 63C08887-00BE-4C9B-9EFC-4B9407EF0C4C
July 2005 2EEAB848-93EB-46AE-A3BF-9F1A55F54833
Once a new release is due replace the old GUID value with the new one and
that update will not be downloaded.
As these requires you to update the entry every month another way to block
it is to decline the download and running the tool manually and then
declining the EULA.
This decline can apply to just the current version of the tool or to both
the current version of the tool and any future versions, depending on the
options you choose.
If your client has already accepted the EULA click to clear the check box
that corresponds to the tool in the Windows Update UI.
I hope that helps
