Fake Microsoft MSRT (Malicious Software Removal Tool)

It seems, not surprisingly, that PCButts isn't the only one trying to scam users by mis-using the Microsoft name. At least in PCButts case, the stuff he peddles is actually real (the fact it's stolen from others is a whole different story).

In this case however, things are much worse as the MSRT being peddled, is NOT actually real, but is instead, an infection. Read all about it at;
