When using Windows Updates or Automatic Updates, it will automatically run
and you will not get any feedback whatsoever, it runs in quiet mode and
then it just deletes itself. After it is finished, it writes the result to
a log file.

To see the log file, run the following command from Start/Run:

notepad %windir%\Debug\Mrt.log

The MRT is an On Demand scanner.
It is offered via the Microsoft Windows Update site once per month and it will
do a simple
scan of your PC at the time it is downloaded. However, it is on your PC and can
be
executed, at will, whenever you like.

%windir%\system32\MRT.exe

Command Line Switches...
/q or /quiet -- execute without GUI
/? or /help -- displays command line switches
/n -- detect mode only
/f -- force a full scan
/f:y -- force a full scan and automatically clean infections found
