I got the XP version of this netbook back in July. I'm drawing a blank on whether any virus software was included. I'm tempted to say there was a demo version of Norton. Any anti-virus software should work. I'm currently running BitDefender 2010, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend it. I had no trouble with 2009 with the Windows 7 RC. 2010 is giving me frequent Report Wizards to report what made BitDefender encountered a critical error - on both my desktop and netbook. It seems to be Flash or Java related. I've also had serious trouble with PC Tools. It would automatically start scanning in the background and not release resources - more than one version. Made my desktop crawl. Solution was always to re-install. I would recommend going to different web sites and try out demo versions of software. With BitDefender, I did use the trial version of 2009. When 2010 was released, my subscription included the upgrade. However, if Windows 7 says there is a compatibility issue or known issue with any software, you better listen. When I was using Windows 7 RC, MicroTrend didn't have a Win7 version yet, and Win7 warned me of known issues. I'm glad Windows 7 has a system restore to restore the PC to a point before changes where made. ...like before installing MicroTrend Anti-Virus. :) They do have a Windows 7 version now.

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).

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

I have the temporary norton security, but once the trial runs out you need to purchase a new one.

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

No idea. I would call the HP Support Line. (Also: ... Win 8 comes will all the Anti-Virus program you need: DEFENDER. Meaning: I deleted the annoying Norton package all together and so far it looks like DEFENDER is doing in the back-ground all the work.)

No it should do what is necessary as in actuality its on upgrade. Only if you are using a completely different product, say AVG and now using Norton, then you would have to uninstall the AVG.

It had McAfee (I believe) installed. We uninstalled it and installed another antivirus program that we prefer.

You are probably wondering if it includes Microsoft Office (Word, Exce, PowerPoint, etc), it does not. You will need to buy that separately. Personally I would recommend buying an older version (such as 2007) if you do not want to spend more than 150 dollars. It will include a 1 or 2 month trial of an antivirus. After that, I recommend to download the free version of AVG or Avast (rather than spending ~50 bucks on Norton which sucks) . You might also have to upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1 (don't worry its free). Hope this helped.

A lot of pop ups, malware and I think free security software for a period. We didn't use it because we use Norton. Be prepared to spend a few hours to clean it up before you can use it, unless they have changed since the first part of this year when we ordered it. I think (not sure) it also came with a wired keyboard and mouse (also didn't use), no monitor and no extra software. Power cable, but no other cables (like for a monitor, printer) Has wireless connectivity for Internet, printer etc.

Not 100% sure, but it is a more advanced version. I suggest going on Norton's website where they have a video of what the differences is between the two. I may have even seen the video on Amazon. Their video convinced me to go up from the regular anti-virus to the security for more protection with internet buying and banking. Hope this helps.

No, not on Internet Security. It does however have one on Titanium Maximum Security, which is a little more.

It comes with Norton installed, but you have to buy the subscription for it.

No, they have Norton Antivirus 2009 for those prices. This is for Norton Internet Security 2009. Best buy has it for 69.99 and costco doesn't even have it.
