Tough to say without knowing the conditions of your PC setup. Most seem to hit a high point in popularity and then eventually fade, so picking a current popular one like Avast or another like Eset Nod that is recommended by Tech Guy, either should serve well.

It comes with a free trial of McAfee. Right now I just use Avast, it's free and it works.

I don't know which anti virus is the most compatible. However, I use Avira and have had great success. I would also recommend CCleaner, both are free off the internet. CCleaner is very effective at removing spyware.

You need to buy an antivirus regardless of the machine youre getting. Unless ur os is linux, even Mac OS whatever needs an AV now.

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

It is unknown, for I have an Acer Aspire 5551-4200. BTW, it's great for me.... and well worth the $16-$18 bucks. Good Luck!

Yes, the Acer Aspire V5 has a DVD/CD drive and burner. Works fine. For price I recommend purchasing a Lenovo ThinkPad (refurbished even).

The suggestion to scan for HD errors is good. I need to do it as well. This moment in Philladelphia airport just returning from a trip lugging both my workhorse Dell Latitude laptop and my relatively new Acer v5-131. The Acer loads and runs anything I put on it and logged onto all of the several wireless systems I encountered. I ran both on dual screens - presentation on one and software being demonstrated on the other - with zero problems. I am very very impressed with this very very cheap laptop. I now take it nearly everywhere with me in case I have down time that can be used writing or simply catching up with my news websites. Have had zero issues with the Acer.

"Chayenne" Don't quote me on this but, I believe that it should work just fine with the "ACER ASPIRE M5" because I had an ACER ASPIRE at the time that I purchased my Laptop AC Adapter/Power Supply/Cord and I never experienced any problems with my computer. I don't recall whether or not I had the "M5" model of the ACER ASPIRE or not, and I have since replaced that particular computer with another ACER ASPIRE (which came with its on adapter/power supply cord. However, if my response isn't helpful to you, perhaps someone else out there may have a more specific answer to this question that may be of better use to you. Take care. Sincerely. Have a BLESSED 2014 new year.

It would be available on the Acer website, but I've checked and it's not available. Don't know if it will be available - ever! Check out this forum for info on this sub-compact laptop:http://forum.notebookreview.com/acer/724071-acer-aspire-v5-122p-owners-thread.html

You should *have* a reputable antivirus app on your machine, but Microsoft's Windows Defender is acceptable if you would like a free, basic, easy to maintain software. Please also read the following article: Tools for a Safer PC - Krebs on Security - http://krebsonsecurity.com/tools-for-a-safer-pc/ (Note that "Microsoft Security Essentials" is now known as "Windows Defender" which I referenced above.)

Sorry, I have no idea as I have the ACER Aspire One and found the external drive to be very sluggish- takes for ever to run through a disc ..

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.

I don't remember, I guess it came with McAfee free by a month, as usual in almost all Asus laptops. Now I'm using AVG free. Luck.
