Bob, A google search yields several direct hits. the first one is at: removespywarecenter.com While it looks legit, I don't personally know anything at all about this site.

Unless you're much more technically astute than I, I doubt whether I could successfully follow them. Good luck, Ian. Remove MS Removal Tool 2.20 Fake Manually Step By Step 1.
