Malicious Software Removal Tool Update KB890830
I'm trying to understand this November 2017 Malicious Software Removal Tool Update. It was in Important Updates but the Install Box was not Checked. It seems from THIS link that it's only function is to Run the Malicious Software Removal Tool, OR, is it also the Definition Update? And, do I need it at all when I already run Avast and MBAM? Is this why it is not checked, because they assume most are running Third Party AV/AM? I can't believe I don't know about this tool very well.
I now see that it is the same KB Number every month, and has installed before somehow without my Checking it, is that possible? Honestly, I could have checked it a few times, but it is showing that it has installed every month as expected.
Is it because I have "Give me Updates for Microsoft Products and check for new Optional Microsoft software when I update windows" Checked in Update Settings.
Thanks 7 lovers!
