I don't think so. I purchased Malware Bytes with the ESET and it works great. Malware Bytes is a lifetime deal. It gives you the updates automatically. Also if you install the ESET version 6, It will ask if you want to upgrade to version 7. I did it, It's free so why not. Some people complain about the download times for the ESET. You must delete your old anti virus software before you install the ESET. It will go a lot quicker that way.

Yes it does. It comes with Microsoft Security Essentials, a very good anti-virus software.

Windows 8.1 includes very basic virus protection in the form of Windows Defender, it is not a comprehensive solution but it should suffice for most basic users.

Yes it is. Just make sure that you get good virus protection or it won't stay that way for long!!!

no nothing is built in but there are apps for that and some of them are free. . the major antivirus companies have paid apps that are good.

It comes with a free trial of McAfee. Right now I just use Avast, it's free and it works.

It does not; I have not had any problem as 99% of software is available by download now. Very good computer!

Markland, the one I purchased was a disc. If I remember once you insert this disc into your drive, it asks you if you want to Uninstaller previous protection software.

It came without an antivirus program but since you probably want to upgrade up from buggy XP why not switch to Ubuntu and eliminate the need for an antivirus program?

Norton claims that it does. In the 2 years since I have been using Norton, I have not had any incidences of malware or trojans. My computer is on and in use at least 15 hours a day, but I am very careful with email attachments and website excursions.

No! It only looks for virus, malware ect. It is designed to find and quarantine things that window based software can not find because the virus ect. Is window based. It does not use a windows operating system.

not necessarily, it might just be the latest version of the software, but with Norton u can never be sure! i would advise caution when buying this brand make sure it has a disk in the box for loading software and never download this or any trial version from a web site. doesn't recognize viruses attached to it's self.

What you have is the "Fake Virus Protection Trojan". Install a name-brand virus protection and it will take care of it (Symantec, McAfee, Zone Alarm).
