Thanks for the link, Ray. Sounds as if it's going to be a fairly light month.

Like you, I got the Malicious Software Removal Tool on Thursday, although I got the 4 you mentioned earlier on Tuesday evening. I was a bit surprised as I usually get the MSRT along with all the other updates. I wonder why MS did it separately this time?
