Looked up that Update: Microsoft® Windows® Malicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830)
I use the ONLINE Scan to check for those..I didn't download it....I don't see any Info on MS about a user being able to remove this....bit it does say this:

Q28: After I run the tool through Windows Update or Automatic Updates, where are the tool files stored? Can I rerun the tool?
A28: After the tool is run through Windows Update or Automatic Updates, it is automatically deleted from the computer.

Here is LINK
