Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool is a smart fraud since it mimics a real security program which is named exactly the same. The tool is also presented as Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool or Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool.

Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool is not a typical rogue anti-spyware. It is installed by trojans and it displays fabricated alerts just like other infections of this kind. Windows MSRT redirects people to a website that sells various security applications, including legitimates ones.

Do not mistake Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool for the real tool made by Microsoft Corp. The fake program reports imaginary threats like Keylogger.Stawin, Spyware.ActivityKey, VBS.Lisa.A@MM, W32.HLLW.Oror.AI@mm and Trojan.Qhosts.C.
