MS malicious software tool

Just for discussion, I wanted to talk about the MS tool released to help
detect malicious software.
My main concern is wondering why MS decided to classify this tool as a
"critical" update? Isn't this pushing the legal limits of this tool? Should
this really be rated "critical" since there are many companies out there with
competing products which have been available for some time?
Wouldn't this be the same as entering the Antivirus business, and labeling the
software as "critical"?
In my opinion, this update shouldn't be classified as critical, but that again
is just my opinion. :)
