+1.  I don't need a tool randomly scanning 200GB on my servers, nor do I
want it bringing my users' PCs to a crawl.  
It's geared as a last resort mechanism to keep grandma's computer clean,
IMO.  If your vigilant on your network about security - you don't need it.

  I try to only apply the benign software updates... though some of the .NET
deployments have come close.  ;-)

  If you mean the "Malicious Software Removal Tool" that comes in via WU
every month, we don't deploy that normally.  It tends to slow the system to
a crawl when it runs, and the stuff it's targeting is generally already
caught by our many other anti-malware measures (which also slow the system
to a crawl).

  Of course, now that I've said this, I expect a massive internal worm
outbreak any second now...
