| Is it true that this download is a one time occurrence - that is,
| download, run, no trace left behind - even as part of a group of
| "critical updates" ?
|
| The MS instructions make it clear that if you manually download it as
| a separate product and run it that is it a one time shot - but if you
| let it get downloaded as a part of Windows Critical Updates does it
| perform the same way? That is, there are no programs/modules left
| behind to load and execute on a daily basis ?

It will download and execute as an "One Demand" anti virus type scanner.
It is not a HotFix and so you will not find it in the Control Panel applet,
Add/Remove
Programs.
The last version executed *IS* left behind...
The utility is...
%windir%\system32\MRT.exe
Command line switches...
/? or /HELP = displays the command line switches
/Q = quiet
/N = detect only
/F = force extended scan
/F:Y = force extended scan and automatically clean infected files
The following is the resultant log file...
%windir%\Debug\mrt.log

you can also get it from the Microsoft Download Center and run/deploy it any
time. However, what it detects and cleans is only updated monthly to
coincide with our monthly patch release schedule. For example, in January,
we added the following:
Win32/Parite
Win32/Maslan
Win32/Bofra
All details can be found at www.microsoft.com/malwareremove
A different tool that is updated more regularly and is currently in beta is
our online scanner at http://safety.live.com. Give it a try.

Is it set up anywhere to load and run automatically? Or is it strictly
a "manual" run the next time you download it ?
