I just downloaded AVG Anti Virus, do I need this too, or will this product be virus protection too?

You can get both of them. avg tune up makes your pc run a little faster while avg anti virus protect you.

I just plugged it in and it started browsing and linked itself. I have an okder ace. After I got it installed my computer was sluggish and then virus protection popped up told me it was unsafe after I removed mouse from system it was fine. I am not very computer savvy still not sure if that could be cause of virus just know that's what I did and them virus came up.

No. I didn't like the fact that you had to go to AVG website to finish installing. Either you purchased it or you didn't.

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

I am really not sure about that because this is my first time using Norton. I usually go with AVG. Ithought the price was really good for this and that's why I purchased it. Hope this helps!

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

That would be your best bet. I always remove all of my I.S. & Virus systems when installing a COMPLETE all-in-one product such as Webroot (or, any other all-in-one that you may have previously installed), as it has a built-in anti-virus system. If you don't remove your previous system, you could run into future problems of both systems trying to work...and they could end up working against each other.

Good Evening David, After you install vipre, you have to do a DEEP scan to detect the viruses that you have on your pc/laptop. After you let the deep scan run on your pc/laptop, it will tell you or give you a choice to delete or quarantine it. But you should delete the virus. Let me know how it works out. Thank you and have a wonderful holiday season.

Don't know for certain, but Noron would be my last choice for security. Get AVG, Avast, or any of a dozen others that are far superior to Norton and McAfee.

Mac does not need any anti-virus. Apple store staff can explain better than I can but the Mac software is not targeted by viruses and spyware/malware. PC's need anti-virus to protect from hacking, viruses, and malware. Norton seems to have worked well for me since I've used it, but I am a very cautious internet user.

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

You usually don't need an antivirus. I use history eraser &advanced; task killer on the regular &it; seems to keep my phone clean.

I don't know, but this shouldn't be an issue because AVG free edition is vastly superior to both McAfee and Norton and doesn't cost a dime!

I don't recall. I already owned a antivirus package. But I tell you this is a screaming machine. Have own for 18 months and it has been great.

As with all Windows computers, it comes with a 30 day free trial of Norton Anti-Virus. After 30 days you may choose to purchase further protection from Norton or you can download one of the many free anti-virus programs like Avast or AVG. Personally, I don't like Norton and I purchased protection through Viper.

I'm using the free version of Avast. It is highly reviewed and so far is running seamlessly. Also I loaded Spybot, since Avast does not have a malware module.

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.
