Does this lap top come with a trial version of a anti-virus program?

It comes with a trial version of Norton's Antivirus software. I think it was 60 or 90 days.

yes but you also have Microsoft Security Essentials on the laptop that takes care of your security for FREE.

This is a New Laptop in the Manufacturers box. It comes with all the FLUFF that Gateway provides with Windows 8, in-addition to Anti-virus and Microsoft Office Trial Version, like all New Laptops and Computer Desktops.

It looks like the 2013 control panel with new features added. To be honest I turned most of the features off because it slowed my fast laptop (I7 3.2 ghz w/ 16 gbs ram 500 gb ssd win7)to a crawl. No viviruses yet. I have not found virus protection that did not slow down a pc. If you buy it tweak it till your comfortable with performance vs protection.

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

No idea. I would call the HP Support Line. (Also: ... Win 8 comes will all the Anti-Virus program you need: DEFENDER. Meaning: I deleted the annoying Norton package all together and so far it looks like DEFENDER is doing in the back-ground all the work.)

comes with a trial period. . After using the computer for bout a week, a message appeared on the screen that my computer needed repair. I called support but they could not help.I had to send the computer to their repair facility in Texas. This was two weeks ago. I have not heard anything yet. Good luck.

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

Yes , but it's only free for a short time. After the free trial was over, I uninstalled it and turned on and updated windows defender.

Yes it does, as most computers do. Some are useful and some are not. You have things like the usual trial software like Office, McAfee Internet Security and such. Keep what you like or can use and delete the rest.

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

Hello, No it does not because it does not need it. If someone is trying to sell you a anti virus program for macs, its a scam. All the anti virus programs will do is make your mac run slower. Thanks, Chris Betamacs

No, it only has an unkeyed trial version. It badly needed a new touchpad driver, but otherwise it's a great laptop.
