So... They are more worried about limiting the internet then help destroy viruses.... Interesting...
I guess the internet is for kids too.
It's all about using common sense. You could try to not use an antivirus if you use common sense, though it's a risky move.
Actually getting the writers is more important. Even more important is to have mandatory classes for illiterates to tell them if it's too good to be true, it isn't.

Common sense includes installing an av. At this point, with MSE being so good, you don't even need to spend money and it doesn't use very many resources.
Other things, like NoScript(or ScriptNo if you're on Chrome), AdBlock, Web of Trust, using ssl/https when you can, using different passwords across the web, etc are all also things you should strongly consider doing. NoScript may be a bit overkill for some, but it can really help, and isn't as bad once you've whitelisted your trusted website.

Now selling Norton Antivirus Premium Uber Deluxe with over 160gb of space-filling trash tools to ensure your computer isn't invaded by evil nazi terrorists, performing high-processing scans every 2 minutes to your entire PC and internet provider, requiring only 8gb+ RAM to operate and three small children in exchange for a one year subscription.
Seriously, Anti-Virus programs aren't needed if you're capable of rational thinking, for fuck's sake.

MSE has terms of use that disallows commercial or governmental institutions from using it (probably due to anti-monopoly laws)

Which is why they created Microsoft Forefront for commercial security.

Forefront is a paid product so it's not like it has any relevance

Do you have Java installed? Well then you need an antivirus, since Java is has so many security vulnerabilities it's not even funny.
And just as a note, Norton for home improved massively in the last few years and Symantec is one of the leading enterprise security companies.
