ellarienI was a bit baffled by this morning's Automatic Windows Update, which made me click on an EULA for a 'Malicious Software Removal Tool' and then installed, apparently, nothing. Some poking around the Windows Update site explained the mystery:
Q28: After I run the tool through Windows Update or Automatic Updates, where are the tool files stored? Can I rerun the tool?
A28: After the tool is run through Windows Update or Automatic Updates, it is automatically deleted from the computer. To run the tool without using Windows Update or Automatic Updates, run the tool from the Download Center or from the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/malwareremove
There's a lot more info here.
OK, if that's the way they want to do it. I don't think I'll be uninstalling AdAware or Spybot any time soon.
