Nothing shocking there though?

It's quite something that MS Windows (8) now at least has a built-in AV package as standard, be it a very basic one

I for one will keep using it, knowing that should any problem arise that MSE / Defender can't handle, I am well equipped to take care of it myself

Still better than nothing, at least it doesn't spam you with a billion popups like others do. I'll stick with it.
I'll be more worried about mobile devices that have zero protection.
