    I got this pop up saying I had a windows update ready to install. It was this Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. I started to download it but stopped after it after about 10% complete. I read about the fake MSRT and didn’t want to take any chances. My question is if it is a backdoor trojan virus do you have to download the whole thing to get infected? If I stopped the download and exited out would I still get the trojan virus?
