Like all Windows computers, it has Windows Defender built in. Alternative software, such as Norton, Kaspersky, or Trend Micro are not included, unless you buy this as a bundle.

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.

No security. You'll need your security/antivirus system to be configured to scan/watch a mounted/external drive (or however its defined.) The ones I got have some software on it, but it's more of a privacy/encryption scheme than keeping you protected from downloaded nasties.

This is a refurbished computer, works beautifully with no issues. You MUST use anti-virus software to protect to protect your computer

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

I have no idea; I have never had your type of problem. I can only say that it is extremely effective in knocking out viruses.

This laptop came with Windows 8.1 operating system installed. It had Internet Explorer as the browser and a trial version of McAfee virus protection software.

Mine did not. You can download the free antivirus Avast, for either Amazon or direct from Avast web site.

No! It only looks for virus, malware ect. It is designed to find and quarantine things that window based software can not find because the virus ect. Is window based. It does not use a windows operating system.

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.

No, this one is only antivirus. You'll want one of their "Security" editions instead.

No. Microsoft is still releasing malicious software removal tools and you can still run up to date Antivirus.
