From the article...

===
For my part, I turned off Automatic Updates several months ago, mainly
because I got sick of telling Windows not to install its "malicious
software removal tool," (even though I checked the box next to
"don't ask again" or something to that effect, Windows asks
permission to reinstall the program every time other updates are
available).
===

And I thought it was just me that Microsoft was trying to force that
malicious software removal tool upon.  I'm glad to see that Microsoft is
pissing off others as well, by not listening to what the user wants to do
with his/her own PC.
