What about theft...how secure is the install?

You're concerned about someone stealing a $200 device sitting on the front of your house all day? That's crazy talk. </sarcasm>

This is a really good question. What is stopping someone from stealing this device? Seriously I would never buy something like this if there isn't some sort of security lock.

Yes you can as long as you don't use antivirus and anti malware modules that are in fix it

You will still need to run the setup utility that comes with the CD. It is a very easy process the only took me about 5 minutes. I have had no issues in the three months that I have been using it.

No offense, none at all, but just by reading your question I would not recommend you purchasing this without having someone tech savvy to help you install it for you. However, the answer is yes.

The software is good for as long as you have it. I have had mine for almost 2 years and as long as you have the security USB card you are good to go.

It is super easy, but if you are asking this you may want to have someone else install it. Here is a link to an installation; http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=998321

So did I, but that option seems to be going away. The download works ok. So far I have only had one problem that required me to dump the program and start over. Worked out fine. Just had to go into McAfee's web site, sign in and down load again. If you dig deep enough you may still find the install disk from a different source, but they will want more $$$.

Yes you can, the installation file is available at http://download.cnet.com/Bitdefender-Antivirus-Plus-2015/3000-2239_4-10537298.html

My husband said to go to the Do It Yourself Security Forum on the web and they have a 2GIG Section. Ask your question there anbd they should be able to answer it. Good Luck!

Justin, have you read the PDF instruction manual? I just skimmed it, since I don't need to add security in my application, but it looked quite thorough. You can select different encryption methods and/or change the SSID. You'll need to install the software on the CD into your PC to do the security setup.

I currently have one running in a 64-bit Win7 system and I don't recall any installation issues. Best of luck.

What Tony said. I use GiliSoft USB Encryption software (not free). It allows me to secure as much of the drive as I want ans leave the rest unsecured. I've been very pleased with it.

No security. You'll need your security/antivirus system to be configured to scan/watch a mounted/external drive (or however its defined.) The ones I got have some software on it, but it's more of a privacy/encryption scheme than keeping you protected from downloaded nasties.

Took about 30 mins to install and there is a spot on mount and the handle that allows you to install a lock so the handle can not be turned to remove the spare. Of course nothing is theft proof if the thief is determined enough, but it will be very difficult for them

Mine included Norton, but it was out of date and I had problems the first week. Made the mistake of clicking on the "Games", and ended up with a lot of junk, nothing terribly malicious, but annoying and slowed everything down. Dumped the Norton and installed Kaspersky (which I had had on my old computer) and MalewareBytes.
