Monthly I download the Malicious removal software tool. What is it? Does it
work in the background? Am I suppose to do something with it?

Yes it does. The scan result(s) can be viewed by opening the mrt.log
located in WINDOWS\Debug

Nope. It runs automatically in the background. If you prefer, download
it monthly from the link here to give you something to click on <w>:
