LOL Yes. It also has an excellent antivirus system that keeps the NSA from spying on your child.

I don't know, but am responding to you to let you know Vipre is not reliable. Its customer service is flaky. A tech said it simply blocks any exe. file as malware. I can tell you they bragged that they would not allow iYogi, a company I had a service contract with, onto my computer. When I asked how to accomplish that, they said 'just allow all dangerous applications.' And they blocked Mozilla Firefox as an untrusted site, and would not attend to that unless I submitted a separate ticket on it. They are lunatics, as far as my very brief encounter with them goes.

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.

Kaspersky Parental Control module will set time blocks for WiFi usage for PCs only. Apple products are another issue.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe it was McAfee. I didn't pay a lot of attention as I prefer and use a different program. I addition, it has all the windows security apps - i.e. defender and firewall for example.

Billp studios produces Winpatrol. Many people like it, some don't. It can protect you from registry changes attempted by malware, but it also can pop up and bug you about programs that are legitimate. It is not an anti virus program though. If you really want good protection and utilities that keep things working well. Buy Norton anti virus and Norton Utilities. They are separate programs. I avoid the other Norton products, like their norton 360 etc. as they don't do as good a job and are too complicated.

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!

yes it can use any anti-virus program you want. I am currently using Vipre with no issues.

Not that I am aware of. My son researched and was okay with it for security. He is in that business. I found it much easier to set up wpa2 once I did the firmware update that I found. Also, running the set up on chrome didn't display correctly affecting my security setup. I ran it on Firefox with better results.

I am satisfied with the parental controls. You can restrict the times that anyone is on, you can restrict by MAC address, by URL or keyword. I am restricting by all of these things actually. To my knowledge you can't restrict by category, say adult sites in general. However my children know that I can see every website that they visit so that is enough to keep them honest. If you enter enough keywords you can probably block particular categories, such as adult sites. Finally if you go to the ASUS website you can download the user manual and it will show you all of the controls you can work with. Hope this helps.

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).

I am not sure. I bought this for my grand son, and his mother allows him to bring it over so he can use the internet. I should think that you could block, or time them. There might be an app or two, that can do what you want. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

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.
