What kind of Antivirus are you using with your 1000HE? Any free, reliable antivirus that you know about?

I use Norton Internet Security 2009. I had an extra license as you get 3 with each purchase. I got it for $20 via pricegrabber.com. At the time, only a few security suites support 64 bit vista. The 2009 version doesn't slow down your system like previous versions of Norton. For sure, someone will say it's a resource hog. It's simply not the case for the 2009 version.

No Microsoft Office. There is a version installed, but I think it's trial or something. I put mine and it's ok. About the antivirus, it comes with McAfee, it's a 30 day trial, I'm not sure what happens after it expires, but I didn't like and I'm going to change for AVG.

if you mean antivirus, just choose your preference, I downloaded AVG and it has worked perfectly ..

I don't know, but this shouldn't be an issue because AVG free edition is vastly superior to both McAfee and Norton and doesn't cost a dime!

Secure anywhere is fine, as I have used it for over 2 years now. There is one point of contention that I have with the software. It seems through my experience with the product is that it holds any viruses in quaranteen so they cannot effect your system. However, once you de-install the software package, the viruses come back onto your system. When I reinstalled the new secureanywhere version, the system scans for viruses again and holds them again. I would perfer that it would kill the virus program itself, but that could effect the registry part of your computer and not allow it to work properly as it could delete a .dll file that your system needs, and the virus needs at the same time. So this is the reason that it puts the virus program in quaranteen. With continued subscription, it was worked fine.

Microsoft Security Essentials works well on netbooks, as do avast! and Avira AntiVir. All are free, or have free versions for personal use.

I've purchased a few of these netbooks and they generally have some (Norton or Trend Security so far) trial addition of anti virus software installed. The first thing I do before connecting to the internet is remove whichever program is installed. Then connect to the internet and download AVG Free. Its a great program and I haven't had any issues with either XP or Windows 7.

I'm not sure but you cannot put any antivirus program on it. You have to use the one that comes with the tablet. There are many programs that are not compatible with the operating system. For example; you cannot download Google Earth. I bough this tablet when it first came out and I am very sorry. The touch screen stinks too!

DAB, It's really easy to say that about anything... It's an opinion. I've used every machine you've posted and feel the 1000he was the best choice. I couldn't stand the NC10's mouse trackpad (way too small) and found the right shift key on the 1000he fine. The function key on the right side of the 1000he is also a HUGE plus. Add in the longer battery life and slightly better CPU (not a huge deal, but still a plus) the 1000he fares better... especially when I got the 1000he for more than $100 LESS than the NC10.

Hello, I just finished buying an ASUS 1000HE (literally within the past hour or so), but while I wait for it to get shipped, I was wondering if I should also opt for the memory upgrade. Seems, cheap and effortless to install, I'm just curious, have you noticed a significant difference in performance? Thanks.

M., I just spoke to ASUS and they do NOT recommend an upgrade to the 1000he. They will not get into Mhz that I can use, just simply state "The 1000he comes with 1GB 667Mhz. We do not recommend you upgrade to 2GB or change the Mhz. ANY upgrades to the system will void it's warrenty."Can you give me any argument on this?

I no longer use McAfee, It by far is the worst anti virus program. Save yourself a huge hassle and get Vipre. I've been using it for 2014 and got the lifetime contract and LOVE it. I truly believe that McAfee is a virus itself.

I haven't had one on my computer in the 6 years that I've had it. I have always used 360 or some type of Norton Antivirus. But they say 24 tech support so I can only assume that they help remove any viruses you may encounter. I am not 100% sure so you may want to contact them directly before purchasing

Sorry, I did not use Norton at all, coz it will drag the system speed too slow. Just try to get Avast or similar free Anti Free software will be ok.
