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!

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

I've purchased a few of these netbooks and they generally have some (Norton or Trend Security so far) trial addition of anti virus software installed. The first thing I do before connecting to the internet is remove whichever program is installed. Then connect to the internet and download AVG Free. Its a great program and I haven't had any issues with either XP or Windows 7.

No it does not come with much software. You would have to buy antivirus, Microsoft office etc. However it has windows 8 so it includes windows program like Windows fax and scan, and snipping tool. It also has adobe reader

No, not installed with any extra programs, just the operating programs, Windows 8, which takes a little getting use to, after awhile you'll like it. Has some TRIAL programs like McAfee Virus, but all other programs you'll have to load, can do from old MS disc, or load from online sources, of course at a price 0¿0 Cheers, Charlie

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.

Yes. Although I have never used it, it is one of the preloaded programs and has a set-up window.

It comes with virus protection for a limited time. However, you could get free virus protection software from http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus.

While it comes with the a free trial for Norton, there are several free anti-virus programs available. I personally use McAfee which also contains anti-spamware. It works best for me.

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.

It does not; I have not had any problem as 99% of software is available by download now. Very good computer!

Yes it does, but there are just trial versions. I don't remember very well, but I think Office was a 2-month trial. No other programs for anything, just some Asus stuff that I never used. And the annoying Win 8 (several things were improved when updated to Win 8.1). Even though, it's a really good laptop, I'm more than happy with it.
