O.P. Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool
Has anyone downloaded and tried this "critical" update?

I was going to downloaded this but changed my mind because I was afraid that this tool wouldn't get along with Plus! :-/

If you have, would you tell me/us what this tool looks like?

Thanks

It removes certain viruses.. that's all. I don't know how you think it wouldn't get along with MsgPlus.
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

Thats cause (i also thought so) the spyware removal tool made by microsoft detects msgplus as a spyware. So .....

I have installed it, and I don't see any difference at all... I guess it is supposed to scan your computer once when installed...

If you're talking about the virustool of Microsoft then it won't affect Plus! in any way, it just scans for the latest 10 worst viruses. The spyware program of Microsoft detects Plus! as spyware, but I think that it will ask you what to do like most spyware programs do.
