mildly ironic issue with Microsoft anti-spam download

Hello,

Microsoft has a new plugin available for reporting spam to Microsoft directly
from within Outlook.  More information, plus download instructions at:

  <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=53541292-ce94-4c5b-9127-b7d56f11b619&DisplayLang=en>

What's strange is that the .MSI file is not signed.

It is mildly ironic that Microsoft didn't place the file in an AuthentiCode
wrapper.  I would think that a tool designed to improve user security would
have this.

Regards
