I see a potential problem with the 'Malicious Software Removal Tool' download.

Previously you had renamed the MS exe file to 'KB890830.exe' and a new month's download would overwrite the previous months (because of having the same name).

Now you've left the name as MS named it, i.e., 'Windows-KB890830-V1.35.exe' and this will not overwrite any files, so that the MSRT files will accumulate taking up more and more space.

The APM file has the same name so it will be overwritten.

Maybe you have a method to handle this - just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks for everything...
John

You could put a delete command at the bottom of each new script to remove old updates.

Edit: I just looked at the script and I see that you already did that :P
