Maybe Blossom can help me. Got my mom a laptop. it is Windows 8.1 It had McAfee installed as a 30 day trial. I removed it via the control panel installed MBAM and downloaded and tried to install MS Security Essentials. When I started to run the program I had a box pop up to tell me something about MS Security Essentials was part of Windows Defender.

My question is do I need to buy and install an anti-virus or is the computer covered. I do not want to be worrying about viruses on her laptop.

Thanks
I bought a new Windows 8.1 laptop over the holidays and ended up researching this same thing. Yes, MSSE is part of the Defender package on 8.1 which was pre-installed on my Yoga 2 Pro.
