I don't believe that to be entirely correct...

(Thanks to Charles S. for telling the name of the log file and where it was
located.)

The Start date and time of the above log file are coincidental of when I
received one of the security updates / patches shortly after I installed
Windows XP Pro SP2.  The fact that I have a log file, indicates to me, that
this application / program performed some action.

When I go into the Add / Remove Programs, I can't locate anything in
regards to the Malicious Software Removal Tool!  I think it is likely
"buried" within one of the Security Updates for Windows XP, Updates for
Windows XP, or Windows XP Hotfix...

 AZ> Watch out-- IE7 is reportedly coming everyone's was as a 'Critical
 AZ> Update' sometime in the next month.

 AZ> It's a big change from IE 6-- some for better, some for worse.

Lovely!  Just ducky lovely!!  :-(((

           Cheers ... Gerald
