As long as you aren't downloading files, you haven't picked up anything malicious. I find that antivirus software is bulky and annoying.
I don't use Windows, but according to Microsoft's website, Microsoft Security Essentials is only available for Windows 7 and Windows Vista: see here I have no advice about updating your Windows software.
When I used Windows, I used Ad-aware, Malwarebytes, and Hijack This to clean my system. They're all free to use, but don't go wild and start deleting files that aren't recommended or offer a warning prompt or you might damage your PC.
i myself have used Malwarebytes it worked amazingly for me, but then i saw a bunch of people slandering about it so i deleted it from my computer; now i want to get back to using it as it kept my system healthy and normal and is lite on it as well. can you get me a legit link where i can download it, because goOgling it leaves me with 100's of links to it's downloads and idk which one is the original one. my computer didn't shut down once properly; that i thought was Malwarebyte's fault but just found out today it was a common error found among Windows 8 users and are often caused by things like in-built Skype and Google Chrome. hope you can help me!
