Anti-Virus

[queen_marr]

Hi,

I just bought my acer one XP ysterday and will get it tomorrow afternoon. One of my main concerns is the Anti-virus. is there an anti-virus included already? Or do i have to buy one? Can i get a good one online, like as in, I can download it from there? Also, how is the media capability? Can it still play youtube videos or any VCD?? Thank you!

you wont get viruses from youtube, try to download a demo on anti-virus from mcafee or norton,
btw where did you get it from, i think i know

If you want a free (but still very good) anti virus program that does not require so much from the computer, try AVG Free (http://free.avg.com/)

Avast home edition is free and it is pretty good.

But the best way to protect is to install linux

Avast home edition is free and works well

AVG meets the system requirement for the AAO. And I use this a-v at home too and it's great.
