Automatice updates has notified me of the Microsoft Malware Remover - anyone
know whether it sends any info back to MS?

Apparently, according to Microsoft's site, anonymous info is reported
back...

It is excellent to outstanding at removing spyware. The best out there,
better than ANY other spyware remover ... period. But, and it is a big but,
it requires Internet Explorer 6.x before it will install AND IE 6.x is the
biggest spyware attractor extant.

Anyhow, if it would install with just ANY browser, I'd use it. It won't ...
I don't.
