I haven't seen it in AIS
As far as I know, you can disable all like buttons and "ads" in the paid version. I did that and never had those. Though now I use Webroot SAAV and Comodo Firewall (together with MBAM free) at least until they manage to fix the Windows 8 issues.
Security essentials whould have been a better choice. The Windows 8 "problem" is only a problem on some systems. I've never had a problem on the 4 computers I use.
It all depends who does the testing. WD doesn't have any web shields though. I actually do have Avast IS installed too as on demand scanner and scripts shield installed.
