Selecting "install now" is supposed to download an executable file. You
shouldn't be required to disable Microsoft security essentials, at least I've
never needed to.
Perhaps you need to use alt tab to select the new download window?
Or I would try looking through the downloads directory, maybe your computer has
already downloaded the installer without your knowledge.
