Spyware Removal tool not found

Using Win XP: In June (could not find it then on a "search" and now again
Aug, Win Update has said it successfully installed Windows Malicious Spyware
Removal Tool" but I can't fnd it anywhere. What do I do? and ensure all the
Updates are actually there?
Thanks in advance.

It should be residing in your WINDOWS/SYSTEM32 directory under the name
MRT.EXE. Have you checked there?

The MSRT downloads, runs, then goes away. See

If you need to 'see' it somewhere, for piece of mind, put a shortcut on your
desktop - right click and look in properties, then version, make a note of
the number, then the next time you are offered the latest version, you can
check it out.
