Ok, this is not good.* Microsoft is playing hardball here.
I am not impressed with any of the other antivirus products.

Security Essentials is not the best antimalware product for Windows, and
that's putting it mildly. However, if Microsoft stops supporting it, you
will need something else. Stay away from Norton and McAfee; Avast is,
sadly, following in their footsteps. AVG is now part of Avast. There
aren't that many top-tier products left.
