MRT files are versatile and can be utilized in various ways depending on their type. There are two primary formats associated with MRT file extensions: Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (mrt.exe) files and Multi-resolution Tiling (MRT) raster image files.

Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool

The Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) is a security utility by Microsoft that scans and removes specific malware families and threats from the user's computer. The MSRT file is known as mrt.exe. You can find more information about this tool at the official Microsoft site: Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool.

You may at times need to run it as an administrator. You can do this by right-clicking the file and selecting "Run as administrator." The tool will perform a scan and remove any detectable malicious software.

Multi-resolution Tiling Raster Image Files

Multi-resolution Tiling (MRT) raster image files are used in geographic information systems (GIS) specifically for storing and managing raster data at multiple resolutions. These files enable faster visualization and more efficient storage of large datasets in geospatial applications. MRT files are compatible with popular GIS software like ESRI's ArcGIS.

How to Open and Use MRT Files in ArcGIS
