Default Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool Question
When I get updates for Windows XP, one thing that gets updates is the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, I believe it's called.

Does this "Tool" operate on its own, without any direction or election by me? Is it always on in the background?

I'm not aware of any way to start a scan with it as I would with anti-virus software.


Thanks
