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  **EDIT** Sorry, this should be in the Security and Web Forum Last edited by Subservient; 12-17-2005 at 11:22 AM. Reason: Wrong Forum

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.
