So you would like to run MSRT manually (the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, the one that comes once a month from Microsoft via Windows Updates and cleans different infections from your pc), well as written in an earlier post https://readmydamnblog.com/?p=463 you can download a version straight from Microsoft, however it turns out there is an even easier method, simply go to your “start menu”, select “Run” and enter “MRT” and hit enter..
There is even the option to launch it with parameters so you could schedule it to run at regular intervals if you would like.
