I have Microsoft Security Essentials Alert trojan, and I tried running rkill like the guide has suggested I dled it from this site onto a usb drive since the trojan disables the internet from being used, then I put the program onto the infected computer, but I don't know if rkill is working. It opens for 3 seconds then closes. After repeditly clicking it in an annoyed rage it now is staying open saying please be patient etc... etc... so is it supposed to close quickly like that? How can I be sure its working or not? It has been scanning the files or whatever you call it for about 40 minutes now can someone please tell me what to do?

You might have to try all 5 of these RKill options, you will know when it's working

Is the point of all of this just to make it so that I can run mbam? Because if thats the case, I can run mbam.

If the infection is active and blocking RKill, then it will be hiding from MBAM.

When RKill unloads the active part from running in memory, then MBAM can update and then kill off the critical parts of the infection that are being protected by the active portion of infection.

I tried updating my mbam with the manual update, now when I try to even open mbam an error message comes up saying please contact the creator with the error code of........... etc.
