Given Microsoft Security Essentials is free, it's reasonable to assume that
over time a significant percentage of Windows machines will have it
installed. It would be a shame if people new to or evaluating Pharo were
turned off by a known issue that so severely affects performance but has
such a simple solution.

I would go so far as to suggest that a message be displayed in the Workspace
of the fresh downloaded image for this (and any other similar issues).
