    Music4Ever,
    The reason why Windows Update is slowed down when the Malicious Software Removal Tool has been checked is because the tool is performing a quick scan of your system in the background during the update process.
    Still a good tool to run monthly for catching the most common malware.

    When updating Windows this now gets unchecked & I have yet in all the time it's been around do anything but slow updating Windows down - MSE recently has had abysmal results & is not on my recommended AV list anymore until they fix it as MS have said they need too.

    As I already use some pretty decent anti-malware this has never found anything amiss on any of my PC's - If you take the time to read the terms & conditions it's probably of more use to MS to have a bit of a snoop around your PC as anything, I can live with that though & seems harmless enough to me.

    BTW although I don't use MSE the detection rates are now pretty good.
