To opt out uninstall Microsoft's malicious software removal tool.


An awesome free tool imo.


Ironic name. Software removal tool is malicious.


Debatable. When you install it and agree to the Terms and EULA you agree to allow Microsoft to uninstall software that it deems as malicious. I don't know if that means the tool is malicious.

Most people don't read EULAs. Caveat installing users.
