Malicous Software Tool

I need some advice. I NEVER use the Malicious Software Tool. I used to have it with my XP and I wouldn't let me do anything, go anywhere, and it blocked everything. Now I heard that I can run it when I want to and it won't run by itself. Is this true? I also heard that it is very, very difficult to get it off your computer if you get it on once. Many users could not get it off.

I would really like to hear opinions on this. Do I really need it!? I have had no problems in the past, but I'm just inquiring. If I can control it myself, I might download it, but if not, I probably won't.

Thanks for any suggestions!!
