I've been running bitcoin with microsoft security essentials for a long while now, and it has always been able to get blocks. Port forwarding on my router was simple, it supports UPnP, which I like using. I discovered that running bitcoin caused MSSE to grind away at the hard drive excessively, so I added the bitcoin data directory to the exceptions list, and it calmed down right away. I just now added the bitcoin application to the excluded processes list, just in case that might become a problem some day. I'm running the newest version of Bitcoin, so, maybe that's why it didn't have trouble getting blocks, I dunno.
