It is 6:00PM (BST) and Microsoft have released the May 2008 updates on Tuesday 13th May 2008. This time, Vista escapes any security updates this month. You may see some arrive, but they are all for non-OS software like Defender or Office.

Windows XP

The following updates are the same as below (Service Pack 3):
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - May 2008 (KB890830) Download size: 2.3 MB

Windows Vista

Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - May 2008 (KB890830) Download size: 2.3 MB

After the download, this tool runs one time to check your computer for infection by specific, prevalent malicious software (including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom) and helps remove any infection that is found. If an infection is found, the tool will display a status report the next time that you start 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 you can run an online version from microsoft.com. This tool is not a replacement for an antivirus product. To help protect your computer, you should use an antivirus product.
