Look at how bad the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal tool (or shall I say, ignore tool) does in the above image....

 

That's why I disabled it from ever being installed.......to do this.....save this as a TXT file and rename the extension to.reg then merge it with your registry:

 

Disable Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool

For what it is worth, MSRT was never designed to detect all malware. It will only detect select most prevalent strains; many of them worm based.

The AV-Test comparative was run on Win 7. Microsoft just updated MSRT on Win 10 to include PUA detection; again only for the most prevalent strains.
