Does the plus on the end of antivirus mean security? I/m running antivirus plus security now (do a lot of bankng and purchases) and subscription about to run out. Is this just as good as antivirus&amp;secuity?

The Trend Micro product I purchased clearly says on the box, secure online banking. My product says "premium". This one above does not say that. Be careful and make sure you get the most updated product. I am no expert. I have Trend Micro on my pc and have not had any problems. I don't know if this helps. You could go to their web site and look at the products there and chat with them.

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)

Windows 8.1 includes very basic virus protection in the form of Windows Defender, it is not a comprehensive solution but it should suffice for most basic users.

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

if you mean antivirus, just choose your preference, I downloaded AVG and it has worked perfectly ..

No Microsoft Office. There is a version installed, but I think it's trial or something. I put mine and it's ok. About the antivirus, it comes with McAfee, it's a 30 day trial, I'm not sure what happens after it expires, but I didn't like and I'm going to change for AVG.

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.

does not come with antivirus or data protection. The button is for auto back up, which I don't use. I do it myself and don't use the button or software.

It does't come with pre-loaded anti virus software. You'll have to purchase and install one.

I don't know what anti-virus is available for the google+OS. But if there was a software problem caused by virus or cause of corruption, the MFG of the computer service will help. The warranty covers hardware mostly.

If your looking for overall total security then this Bitedefender total is for you! I have used it on 2 laptops now one with Windows 7 and the other with Windows 8. I am very happy with all of the features that they offer, and it's superior antivirus protection. To top it off this is a 2 year protection plan, it updates so your not buying another new program next year!!! I bought this to replace Kaspersky, and within hours I was impressed at the amount of viruses , Trojans, and malware that Bitedefender removed. And it doesn't slow your computer or laptop down like Norton 360 did to mine. Overall I give this a 10 out of 10 stars and will only purchase Bitedefender products. FYI, if your replacing a Norton product please download the Norton removal tool found online. No matter the choice of new product, it will not install and operate correctly unless Norton is 100% removed! Good luck!

Yeah before doing so you should install a anti-virus system probably Webroot is the best. The only reason you should install a anti-virus is so you won't end up having a virus like I did.

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.

sorry it took longer than expected to answer. I ran a virus scan and a malware scan and the system is clean. No viruses and no malware whatsoever. You're good to go!
