I got no visual confirmation that it had run.....

I cannot find this program anywhere, on any menu or setting.....

I have no way of knowing what it is doing in the background.....

The program runs "silently" and is capable of sending reports back to Microsoft, apparently with no intervention being possible from me.....

Perhaps there was a typo, "Malicious Software Removal Tool" should have read "Malicious, Software Removal Tool". This new program has all the features, and exhibits a lot of the behaviours, of spyware..........

Nice one MS - where's that Add/Remove Programs button?
