Doesn't Windows anyway come with a free antivirus solution these days? If so, this might be a good opportunity for Windows users to get rid of the nagware.

Windows comes with a solid piece of software called Windows Defender. It does the job very well. I've been running it for years without any problems. It never gets in the way, runs moderately fast, never bogs my system down, it's free, and it updates very regularly. I don't know what else I would ask for.
