I've downloaded the Microsoft Malicious Software Tool. It downloaded and I have never found it. I haven't downloaded the windows live essentials, because I like Messenger 14.0 better. I'd download the malicious software tool, and the live essentials is up to you. That one is just an upgrade to some programs.
