I dunno about ASUS, but it seems you almost always see Norton preloaded on things... I guess I've seen McAffee sometimes too, but eh. I tend to uninstall it and install ESET NOD32 first thing when I get it, because I greatly prefer it to either of those.

I would assume so, it does come with Window's defender, but I have used Avast and other free antivirus and they have worked well.

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

Don't know. I covered a new laptop. If you contact them, (I don't know how) they could tell you.

Yes Windows XP installed ready to go . We do not provide any virus protection or any additional software. But the OS and device drivers are installed before it leaves our shop.

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.

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.

I down loaded AVG which is a free app, since there is no built in virus protection that I am aware of.

Sorry, Eugene...I do not have an answer for you. BUT, there should be a Customer Service number from Webroot and they should be able to help at the Company Site. (I do not have the AntiVirus Download. I have the Internet Security Plus system.)

What you have is the "Fake Virus Protection Trojan". Install a name-brand virus protection and it will take care of it (Symantec, McAfee, Zone Alarm).

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.

It comes with some trial antivirus software like McAffee I think. I personaly uninstalled it, and left the Windows antivirus (now part of Windows Defender, in windows 8).
