MSE defs update thru Windoze Update and you're right when the version changes it fucks w your settings

Avast, Web & File shields only no useless Bells & Whistles, Defs & Prog update set to "Manual", no "streaming" updates. Aside from an odd false positive or three from the web shield it never makes a peep other than the occasional nag popup to upgrade to the $$$ version.
