I have one download waiting to be installed

Windows malicious software removal tool april 2009 KB890830

do i really need this, or is it quite safe to do so

Also what happens if i decline to the terms and conditions.

I have done a search on it, and this seems ok, but no harm in a second opinion
As to if i really need it.

Trying to help

it,s a infection scanner removing only the selected infections listed here http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890830

if u decline the terms,The download process just stops (as usual). Windows Update will continue showing it as an available update though.
