Would anyone happen to know the MiscroSoft Newsgroup subscription address
for the Malicious Software Removal Tool?

There isn't one.
You might try Windows Update or an approriate Security newsgroups.

Did you mean a web address? If so then it is here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...e0-e72d-4f54-9ab3-75b8eb148356&displaylang=en
If you want Antispyware General Newsgroup - (Windows Defender) then it
is:

This is close, but I need the newsgroup address for the Malicious Spyware
Removal Tool, it is also a private MS group, so it must be somwhere along
the same lines.
Thanks for your help!

The MSRT does not have its own newsgroup private or public.
Perhaps toy are confusing the private newsgroups for Microsoft
AntiSpyware/Windows Defender.
But those newsgroups do not apply to the MSRT.
The Windows Update or security newsgroups are appropriate as Pa Bear already
stated.

OK, let me get right to the point then...
When using Windows Update, where does it download the MSRT to? When I
select the custom option for installing available upadates I see it in the
list and when I select and install it it is nowhere to be found for use.
Thanks again!

After it runs, and finds nothing, it deletes itself.
If you want to run it manually, download it from:

Malicious Software Removal Tool from Automatic Updates, runs once and
then stays in %windir%\System32 as MRT.EXE.

Well it should delete itself, or add a shortcut to All Programs, so
people can see and use it, in between updates.
Thanks for the correction, Wes.

The Wayback Machine shows it saying "deletes itself" as of the March 8,
2005 update. But it hasn't cataloged this page since last April, so it
could have changed anytime between April 01, 2005 and April 11, 2006.

But thanks again Wes, for letting me know about the change, as I don't
want to give out out-dated information.

Ah, the Wayback Machine. I cannot help but think of Mr. Peabody and his boy
Sherman. LOL Wanna hear my Dudley Do-Right impression? Nell. Oh, Nell.
I had been posting the same thing and then I just happened to be looking
around in system32 and spotted mrt.exe and decided that my advice was not up
to date either.
You are very welcome, Kurt.
