Windows XP update, to download or not to download, that is the question.

So I understand that support for Windows XP ended in April and seeing as I have an Inspiron 1200 right now I don't think I can actually upgrade. Right now I have an available update called "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - August 2014 (KB890830)". I am suspicious of this update and want to know if anybody thinks I should or shouldn't do it and why?

It's safe.

If you have a still supported version of microsoft office and you told it to get it's updates via windows/microsoft updates, then those will continue to come over as well. You just won't get any OS updates.
