Guest Mr.Andersson Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Hello! Does the MRT make any loggings to Windows Event Log when it detects a virus on the client computer? This would be very handy feature, especially on company networks. It's much easier to run scans on client computers event logs, than it is to run them on local windows\debug folders. Yours, Antti Laatikainen Quote
Guest Engel Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 The file is; %windir%\system32\MRT.exe You can see the switch parameters with... %windir%\system32\MRT.exe /? The log file is... %windir%\Debug\mrt.log Running the following command line with launch a full scan and clean malware automatically without user intervention. %windir%\system32\MRT.exe /f:y -=- Good luck "Mr.Andersson" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > Hello! > > Does the MRT make any loggings to Windows Event Log > when it detects a virus on the client computer? > This would be very handy feature, especially on company > networks.

Guest Mr.Andersson Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks for the reply! What I meant with my question is that we're using WSUS to distribute updates and, for example, MRT to our client computers. If MRT finds some malware on our workstations,how do we as administrators get an alert or information about it? Since the only information is given to the user of that workstation, and only logged information is to be found from the \debug floder? By scanning the event logs i meant scanning the workstation logs for certain event ID:s, not to scan them for viruses.. My mistake. style_emoticons/ Yours, Antti Laatikainen "Engel" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > The file is; > %windir%system32MRT.exe > > You can see the switch parameters with... > %windir%system32MRT.exe /? > > The log file is... > %windir%Debugmrt.log > > Running the following command line with launch a full scan and clean > malware automatically without user intervention. > %windir%system32MRT.exe /f:y > -=- > > Good luck > > > > > "Mr.Andersson" wrote: > <span style="color:green"> > > Hello! > > > > Does the MRT make any loggings to Windows Event Log > > when it detects a virus on the client computer? > > This would be very handy feature, especially on company > > networks.
