MicrosoftAntiware spy tries to remove Windows Updates.....
heres the "threat details" from Antispyware beta.


WindUpdates
Type: Browser Plug-in
Threat Level: Severe
Author: WindUpdates.com

Description: WindUpdates downloads additional adware and
displays pop-up advertising.

Advice: This is a very high risk threat and should be
removed immediately as to prevent harm to your computer or
your privacy.

About Browser Plug-in: A browser plug-in is an application
that can be installed within a user's web browser. Plug-
ins can come in the form of a toolbar that is included in
your web browser or a search or navigation feature to
extra task buttons on the browser. Although most plug-ins
are designed to perform necessary functions, many plug-ins
are harmful to you computer because they have complete
access to your web browser and can modify, spy and
redirect any task you perform.
