I know it could be difficult for you, but consider just asking them for advice on the systems you're building/proposing. If you think they're likely to turn down the ideas you have, you may as well pre-empt that and get down to the business of figuring out a compromise. It may not make you look like some rockstar programmer, but at least you'll be learning something as quickly as possible. Also, depending on how down to earth your employers are, appearing humble before your superiors/more experienced colleagues and wanting of knowledge will only cast a good light on you.
I do admit, I'm kind of ashamed that I don't protect my computer better - but many AV solutions hog resources and just slow my computer to a stand-still. So I just forgo them altogether. Running on Windows 7 or 8 does enable the Windows Defender program by default, though, I believe. And at first glance, it doesn't seem to be that bad a setup (admittedly, I haven't looked into it much)
But yeah, correlation is not causation.
