BUT !!

      Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - April 2005 
(KB890830)
      After the download, this tool runs once to check your 
computer for infection by specific, prevalent malicious 
software (including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom) and 
automatically helps remove any variants found. After it 
runs, the tool is deleted from your computer. A new version 
of the tool will be offered every month. If you want to 
manually run the tool on your computer, you can download a 
copy from the Microsoft Download Center or run an online 
version from microsoft.com. In addition to using this tool, 
you should use an up-to-date antivirus product to help 
protect your computer from other malicious software.
      ~~~~~~
      so - it isn't there to run again if you suspect 
something is on your computer!

It is called the same thing -
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - April 2005
(KB893066)
is in my most recent windows update history.

yeah, it's the same thing.

Microsoft will release an updated version of this tool on
the second Tuesday of each month. New versions will be made
available through this web page, Windows Update, and the
Malicious Software Removal Tool Web site on Microsoft.com.

No, this is not included in Microsoft Updates.
You have to download it yourself.

  This is the tool that MSoft puts in windows updates
  once/month, isn't it? I'm pretty sure it is.

  do you know how we access the one that gets installed
during
  the updates?
