Just be aware that Malwarebytes Free is only for on-demand scanning. The paid version has real-time protection, but designed to co-exist with an existing AV software package.
Microsoft Security Essentials(MSE) is basic protection, and better than nothing. But I wouldn't recommend it as a primary AV as it has consistently rated far below on protection, compared to most other major AV packages including those available for free. Even Microsoft recommends using a third party AV over MSE.
Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition is just as light as MSE, yet far superior in protection. Rated #1 in protection, receiving higher ratings than Kaspersky, Norton, or Trend Micro in WIN 7. Bitdefender does support file/folder exclusion, but not sure in the Free version. I'm running it on my WIN 8 64bit convertible notebook.
