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.

You are right that it has some sort of processor. I'm not sure what the brand is, but from the tech specs, I know it's a dual-core 600 MHz CPU. But processors are not what gets infected with viruses and other malware--it's operating systems. Once again, I don't know for sure what OS this thing is running, but I'd say there's a 99.9% chance it's running an embedded Linux distribution. The good news here is that Linux is NOT Microsoft Windows when it comes to viruses and such. It's hard to infect without user interaction (i.e., you intentionally compromising the device, or being tricked into doing so). If you use the cloud feature, it's not likely to be a virus magnet. That said, yes, Aunt Ida can get a document infected with a virus in her email, copy the doc to your NAS, and then a virus will be on your network. But that's the risk with pretty much anything that accepts files; she could have also forwarded you that email with the infection. Long story short, not much to worry about that your normal sane computing practices wouldn't already take care of.

This unit doesn't require any additional virus protection software. The protection is built-in the OS with automatic updates.

I don't know about Kapersky, but SecureAnywhere runs just fine along side McAfee. McAfee did notice it was there and said something weekly stated about it not being wise (or words to that effect) to run two antivirus programs at the same time. That being said SecureAnywhere found and dealt with trogans and keystroke recorders that McAfee never detected. I work in a school district with old computers running XP and using a flashdrive to transfer yearbook related materials to my home computer is where my difficulties have arisen.

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!

Will this stick remove the Groovorio virus? And it is really any better than free programs like SuperAntiSpyware? If it can't remove the trojan viruses, like someone mentioned here, what else does it not help remove? I need help with the biggie things.

Thats an interesting question. I don't see that in the product description. What makes you think that an external hard drive would have antivirus protection? As far as i know its just a harddrive.

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).

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

I bought a 3 machine license for $30. I installed installed on one machine and it created so many problems, I uninstalled it a week later. Kasperski anti virus created as many problems as any other virus I have had to deal with. A number of applications just wouldn't run with Kasperski installed. If you throw your computer in a swimming pool, you will never get a virus, but that is not the solution I was looking for.

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

I recommend to you not to loose the protection of the product. If you want to wait is ok. but better be protected. Kaspersky 2013 is fine and sometimes you can update to the latestes version for free.

I also use Firefox and Kaspersky. I am on a Windows PC with Windows 7. With any Antivirus doesn't detect everything. There is still Spyware, Malware and other bad things out there that Kaspersky doesn't find. It is impossible to keep up with all of the "Bad People" out there. We're talking for every 1 Person working at Kaspersky there might be 50 "Bad People" writing Bad stuff to infect Your Computer. I think its a good idea to have something external to help.

No, best to invest in one. Even if Windows comes preloaded on your tower, it won't even come close to deal with all the spy/malware and viruses out there.

I did not remove any anti virus. I have periodically used the stick to clean up any stray new attacks. I also added a malware program to protect my back. So I have three defense programs active.

McAfee antivirus with 90 day free trial is included. After 90 days I using Windows 8.1 defender which comes with OS.
