Do you have a source for this? I know for sure MSE checks that you have a genuine copy of windows when you install it but never heard about it doing it after it is installed.
There are multiple sources, including Microsoft.

I run ESET (which I am happy with) and Avast on another box (don't like the interface and sluggish updates).
Also - I've forgotten the name of the site that runs quality non-commercial tests of these programs? Google gives me pages of sponsored junk - was no help. Thanks.

Having bought v5 just now, I am using this and then will install my paid versions - hopefully updated to v6.
With the rebate, the Eggs prices are very good for ESET right now.

I'm wondering why they show results for MSE version 2.1 when the current one is 4.0. Nothing has been changed?
