The recommendation is to download the tool manually and then run it for verification. The reason is a problem in the certificate chain. Microsoft therefore no longer offers the MSRT for all Windows versions prior to Windows 10 for November 2019 via Windows Update. Please download the package from Download site to run on these platforms. Microsoft has added the following passage:ĭue to certificate chain verification issues on pre-Win10, the MSRT package of November 2019 will not be offered via Windows Update. Now a blog reader has pointed out an addition in the support post for KB890830. I also reported that I was able to download the MSRT from the Update Catalog and run it successfully on Windows 7. In the blog post Windows 7: Update KB890830 (MSRT) drops Error 0x800B0109 I had pointed out that an updated version of the MSRT (update KB890830) for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 (dated ) has been released in Microsoft Update Catalog. Shortly after the patchday blog readers reported that the update KB890830 was no longer offered via Windows Update. MSRT reissued and pulled from Windows Update What caused this problem could not be clarified – probably Windows 7 SP1 lacks a corresponding root certificate. So, while the KB890830 Update Certificate was invalid for Windows 7 SP1, all other versions of Windows accepted the MSRT Certificate. However, the check ended with a root certificate that is not trusted by the trust provider. The error code stands for CERT_E_UNTRUSTEDROOT, which means that the certificate chain was processed though. In the blog post Windows 7: Update KB890830 (MSRT) drops Error 0x800B0109 I outlined the background for error 0x800B0109. I have also read reports that the tool is being installed again and again. With KB890830 all my installation attempts fail. Already on Patchday there were comments like this:
But this MSRT version from Novemcauses issues in Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008/R2. The update was also rolled out on Patchday (November 12, 2019) for all Windows versions via Windows Update. The tool is available for all versions of Windows and is rolled out cyclically on patchday as an update to clean the systems from malicious software (certain common threats such as Trickbot).
Update KB890830 is the 'Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool' (MSRT).
