But if you don't give a crap, and you probably don't if you're trying to run Windows 7, then this is fine. There's an activator and remove WAT program out there that can help with that, but now you have to block a certain update that circumvents that and I don't remember what it was.

It continually warns me that my software is not genuine, but that's because I didn't enter a genuine key. I did have a little bit of trouble updating it initially, but once I got that worked out, it updates and functions normally. I've been running a copy of this on an older Dell for testing purposes for nearly a year now.
But as far as any backdoors or rootkits being present that's NOT already included in the standard Windows 7 operating system, it don't appear so. It's at the very least malware and spyware.

If preinstalled: Or you can use this for preinstalled OEM or Retail Licenses. If you receive a disc image file is too large message while attempting to burn a DVD bootable disc from an ISO file, consider using a higher capacity Dual Layer DVD. Microsoft doesnt supply them for OEM preinstalled licenses (Dell, HP, etc.). But aside from that, this one works! As far as viruses go, I couldn't say.
