    something about this software seems suspicious to me, so
    I don’t wish to install it, but it persistently returns
    and returns trying to install itself!!!!!

    Well, if you accept that Windows itself falls into the general malware category, installing the WMSRT -should- install Linux or something. Yeah, well seriously, it installs every time you do Windows Update, and I allow it every time. I’ve certainly never had any fallout from it, but I’ve also never seen that it -did- anything. I’m pretty fastidious about keeping my machine malware-free, though…
