Malicious Software Removal Tool

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I have just downloaded my Critical Updates and this was one of the
downloads. Does this work in the background or do you have to activate
it. I already have a AV which is updated daily so wasn't sure whether
this Update with interfere with anything and whether it should be
removed if that was possible.
I also noticed that when looking in the Add/Remove there was some
patches relating to SP2 which I haven't got on my machine yet, have
ordered the disc. Was wondering why they were downloaded being as I
haven't got SP2.

So I presume that it has now run and then disappeared. I presume then
everything must have been okay or I would have had some sort of
notification. I presume then also that it is an item that will
continually appear in the Updates section then?
