Malicious software removal tool from Microsoft

Hmmm. So, does it remove malicious software, or does it maliciously remove software? I can't believe that it's the former - it's hardly likely to remove Word, Visio, Outlook and SQL Server (to name but a few), is it? So, it must be the latter - it'll probably try and take Java and Python off, then.

It's a bit mysterious. My PC installed via auto-update (or so it said) but that seems to be it.

Typical MS quote; 'It said that its virus cleaning program would not stop machines being infected nor remove the need for other anti-virus programs.'

Can't wait.

Does it just run a "format c:"?

That would do it. ;-)
