    If anyone doesn't want this junk which takes a long time to install and doesn't do anything useful to be honest, and to prevent it from re-appearing from Windows update,

    Create an empty Notepad TXT file and copy/paste the below code then name it it:

    Disable Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool.reg

    Code: 
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MRT]
"DontOfferThroughWUAU"=dword:00000001/[code]
