Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool

I've heard that this does remove Malicious Software, but loads a bunch of spyware onto your computer. Any truth to this?

I'm thinking about installing this, but the rumours have me kinda iffy :confused:


**EDIT** Sorry, this should be in the Security and Web Forum

no. Anything by microsoft is legit, but may or may not be useful.

Absolutely safe to use. It gets updated every month or so, when Microsoft releases security updates.

It's safe alright. Just gets rid of some of the big threats. Not worth relying on it, you'll still need Spybot/Ad-aware, Firewall, etc.
