"Microsoft releases an updated version of this tool on the second
Tuesday of each month, and as needed to respond to security incidents.
The tool is available from Microsoft Update, Windows Update and the

Re: KB890830

C/windows/debug/mrt.log contained the error: "Security policy doesn't allow for all actions MSRT may require". I found that mrt.exe was being extracted to and run from a NAS drive (in my case a NetGear SC101, drive G. When I dismounted the drive and ran MSRT again, it completed successfully and the continuous requests for updates is gone. I don't know why that drive was picked as the target for mrt.exe but mrt.exe won't run from there on my system (Vista Ultimate 32bit).
