Soo,
I searched the Security Center, the Program Folder, the Control Panels, the
Start menu and read the whole KB article and I still have no idea where I
can find and start the downloaded, local Malicious Software Removal Tool,
which, according to docs, should be on my computer. (Same situation WAS with
an earlier version of the Transfer Manager!)

I´ve been dealing professionally with PCs for 27 (twenty-seven) years now
and I don´t regard myself as an idiot.

What do you conclude?
Reagrds
G.

Thanks, Kayman,
I know where to find it online, but I´m stubborn enuf: If I automatically
download a new version every single month with the other bug fixes, I want
to KNOW where it´s locally and this is one example in case where the average
user should be able to take advantage, but it seems to take more than an
engineering degree...

Thanks again.
G.

The malicious software removal tool has always been installed in the
system32 folder. Gee, I thought that was common knowledge.
