Arrived today - malicious software tool - kb890830. How come? You are supposed to trust this being MS and it just goes ahead and downloads/installs. Are they still supporting Seven??? Thanks.

They are not true updates, all those do is look for known malware and are sort of part of Windows Defender which is still supported on Windows 7
