Yes, you most certainly can. I am using McAffee right now. Any appplication that is compatible with Windows 8 on your PC will also be compatible with Windows 8 Surface Pro. Keep in mind that many Win8 application, though not touch ready, can still be operated by the usual means of mouse and keypoard ---- A. Thomas

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

Pro does but the plain 8.1 does not. Pro also has bitlockwr drive encryption which is helpful in keeping your info safe if someone steals your computer.

The software it has is a basic McAfee antivrius. I pulled it off and installed a subscription that I already have.

It depends on the seller and the OS.Most public sellers include Norton or the such, but Windows 8 versions also come with Windows Defender.

i have not had that PC but i am using on a Surface Pro with no issues at all.

By Surface - are you referring to the screen, the cover or the key board? You would have to check the documentation associated with a Pro 3. I do not know if the protection plan is a Boiler Plate - or customized for each type of computer. I am sorry I can not help you.

Fiona is right about security essentials, but you can still get free anti-virus with Avast. Works great!

Don't know for certain, but Noron would be my last choice for security. Get AVG, Avast, or any of a dozen others that are far superior to Norton and McAfee.

Anti-Virus software has always been seperate, the fact that this is made by Microsoft makes no difference. It will never come included with the OS because Microsoft would be accused of using their monopoly to force their anti-virus on users. You can argue that anti-virus should be included for free, but thats never going to happen. You can also only have one anti-virus running at a time. However this is actualy a rip off for a different reason. They are discontinuing the service in June so its a waist of money. Buy NOD32 or Kaspersky instead (I don't trust Norton and Mcafee)

I don't think so. The pro is a little thicker than the RT & Surface 2. Also, some of the ports are different.

I would assume so, it does come with Window's defender, but I have used Avast and other free antivirus and they have worked well.

does not matter as 8.1 is a free upgrad that takes only a couple of minutes to download. personally i will sell you my surface pro as i hate windows 8.

It's a windows 8 OS. Yes, you need an antivirus, just as with any computer connected to the internet.

Yes, any windows 8 or windows 8 pro tablet can have software installed, such as QuickBooks, antivirus, work software, etc. Windows Rt devices do not have this capability. The Acer w3 ONLY COMES IN WINDOWS 8, THEREFORE DOES HAVE THIS ABILITY.

It comes only with a trial version of McAffee. At least that's what mine came with. You can get a good, free antivirus program called Microsoft Security Essentials. Hope this helps!!

There are multiple excellent free antivirus options out there. Microsoft's own Security Essentials is free and fast. Spending money on Norton or McAfee is a huge waste.

Acrobat is a notorious system hog.I also highly recommend ditching Mcafee if it is on your computer, big system resources waster... Microsoft Security Essentials is a perfect alternative, light weight and free from a very reputable source. Try and uninstall as much bloatware as you can... I did a fresh install of windows 7 on my N120 and it works great.
