    Malicious Software Removal Tool


    Every time I log in recently the system asks me whether I want to install the Malicious Software Removal Tool. I do not want to do so.
    Where is this message coming from and how can I get rid of this message?

    Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
    I'd say your windows update settings are set to automatically download and install is why.
    Windows Update Settings - Change
    Those updates are classified as Important.
    And do need to be installed.

    It's a patch, you can set it to download and not install but that's not recommended. Otherwise your updates pile up and your computer is so far behind on updates.

    There is no reason not to install this KB, its like a one off Anti Virus scan.
