Windows 8 Malware Protection

[coughs]

Has Microsoft implemented anything to make Windows 8 less prone to get infected with malware?
I guess the fact most applications will be downloaded via Windows store will help a bit. I hope Malwarebytes will be compatible just in case

I severely doubt most applications will be downloaded from windows store to be honest, probably find stuff cheaper elsewhere.

It has MSSE built-in.

Look for Windows Defender which is built in. However it'll only be activated if you have no other form of protection installed or valid (if it's gone out of date) - from what I understand.
