A copy of the EULA is available at

Section 7, "Internet-based services", is mildly
interesting, as is Section 9, "Microsoft .NET Benchmark
Testing". Neither one appears to fit in the twice-prior

mention "malicious software removal".
The URL itself is representative of Microsoft thinking; the
path includes a rather messy-looking GUID.
Caveat user.
