Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT, MRT) for May, version 5.12  

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/malicious-software-removal-tool-details.aspx 

Reminder:   Users who are paranoid about the remote possibility of a FP can opt to run this tool from a Command Prompt, appending a   /N   parameter [for "detect only" mode].

============================

Remark:   The MSRT is available even for XP users!

This month's MSRT adds detection/removal of

Win32/Filcout - "an app [that] is used to help you find programs to run unknown files, however it is also known to install variants of the Win32/Sefnit family without your knowledge";

and

Win32/Miuref - "a family of threats can redirect your web browser to show you ads or download other malware".

Remarks concerning Adobe Reader 11.0.7:

Today's update of Adobe Reader, to 11.0.7, includes (support for) Windows XP.   It is, however, the last update for Reader that will support XP.

from https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/end-of-support-acrobat-reader-on-winxp.html  "Adobe will no longer develop versions of Acrobat or Reader for Windows XP. Also, Adobe will no longer test releases or patches on Windows XP or fix bugs specific to Windows XP".

from https://blogs.adobe.com/acrobat/windows-xp-end-of-support-html/  "Now, it’s important to note, that you can continue to install and/or use Adobe Reader and Acrobat on Windows XP if you wish to, even after the official support ends. But again, this means that any updates or patches for Adobe Reader and Acrobat will no longer be tested or supported on Windows XP".
