My Windows 8.1 does not include this. I have Avira Free and it works great. I need all the protection I can get because Swagbucks is full of junk like malware or viruses.

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.

Game for Marriage (Game for It #1) by Karen Erickson]
Kindle | Kobo | Google

Quote:
He’s going in deep to make her his… Struggling artist Sheridan Harper never imagined she’d spend a sizzling night with Jared Quinn, the smoking-hot star quarterback of her local professional football team, the San Jose Hawks. And she’s even more shocked when Jared’s publicist offers her a proposition: a fake marriage to keep Jared out of the gossip mags. Being that close to Jared would be too tempting, so to protect her heart, she insists on secretly including a clause forbidding sex between them. Jared just wants to keep his starting QB job and keep it in San Jose. His reputation as a ladies’ man has landed him in the headlines one too many times, but there’s something about his kind, passionate new wife that tempts him beyond reason. Any sort of intimacy between them is completely forbidden, but as their bodies fall in deep, will their hearts follow suit?

I did some research (a year ago) and basically the consensus is that it is best to just use Windows Defender. You have to un-install all other antivirus apps. I also installed a free malware scanning app. There are probably some antivirus programs that work at this point with win 8.1. But I have not had any problems. (t-t-t)
Thank You!!!!

This is the answer I have been looking for. I have Windows 7 and only use MS Security Essentials with Malwarebytes. I installed Malwarebytes on her computer but was unsure about anti-virus. I am not fond of McAfee but that is me.

Glad my answer was helpful. I also use Malwarebytes.

Windows 8.1 is MUCH better than 8.0 and quite good/easy to use, but I suppose you know from your mother's computer. My husband has a win 8.1 (Sony) tablet that he uses for work and he is very happy. He uses MS OneNote frequently for drawing mathematics equations, etc.

I bought my 14" laptop to use mostly as a Calibre library. It has 4GB RAM and a 500 GB disk and was only about $250. It is perfect for my needs. I store thousands of books in 5-6 libraries.
Good luck!

I have never checked out Windows 8.0 I played around a little with 8.1 but I really prefer Windows 7. From my understanding 8.1 was not a lot different than 8.0 just some changes in the home screen.

A basic computer is not enough for me. I need more power. I use my computer for work and home use. I have narrowed my selection down to 6 that I like but nothing definite until I know more about windows 10. I might not change if the reviews are bad but looking at early reviews they had stated it is better than Windows 7. But who knows with Microsoft.

Beneath a Trojan Moon by Anna Hackett (Carina Press author).

Quote:
A flirtatious fortune teller + a sexy, single-minded marshal = a steamy, sci fi romance novella.

Fortune teller Relda Dela-Cruz is a woman with a secret. One she'll do anything to conceal. She hides in plain sight on the market world of Souk, content with running her profitable fortune-telling business and never letting anyone too close. But when assailants attack her in pursuit of a powerful artifact, Relda collides with the city's handsome, new marshal. A man who leaves no stone unturned and no secret covered.

War has left former Galactic Special Forces Captain Hunt Calder tired and empty, but one look at sexy Relda--with her wild curls and lush curves--brings him back to life. When she's threatened over the mysterious Trojan Moon, Hunt will let nothing stop him from protecting her. Even Relda herself.

As they face alien attackers and killer droids, Relda can't resist her burning attraction to Hunt. But she knows he's the most dangerous threat of all, because he doesn't just want her body, he wants her trust and her secret, too. A secret with the power to destroy Hunt and Relda, the city, even the planet itself.

Note to readers: This novella contains a lot of action (think kidnaps, killer droids and starship crashes), one valuable treasure (yes, diamonds are involved) and a hot romance (lots of sexy times between a beautiful fortune teller and a hard-bodied marshal). If you like it fast, fun and sexy, this is for you!

Time Thief by Anna Hackett.

Quote:
Bay North wants revenge, no, she craves revenge. Hunted for her psychic ability to steal time and forced to watch her family die, all she wants is to make the crime lord who’s taken everything from her pay. But now he's set the ultimate hunter on her trail and Bay will need all her skills just to survive the gray-eyed, hard-bodied man out to kill her.

Ex-Navy SEAL Sean Archer has nothing left but a thirst for vengeance. After his team is killed in Afghanistan by a time thief, he came home a broken man. Now he hunts any of the monsters he can find, ready to rid the world of the dangerous mutation.

But when he finally tracks Bay to Denver, he doesn’t see a monster or a mutation, he sees a tough, beautiful survivor who ignites a desire he can’t deny. During a shootout, hunter and hunted find themselves thrust into a reluctant alliance that shatters all their defenses. Can Sean convince a woman honed in revenge that they can have more than vengeance, blood and killing?

My advice is too stay away from Windows 8.1 it's buggy and has alot of issues. Wait for the next windows which should be better. Windows 8.1. was MS intro O/S into the app market and it has alot of problems because of this.

Blossom this is why I have not purchased a new computer. Every other version of Windows is great. 10 has to been good. If not I am going to stay with Windows 7 until they no longer offer updates then I am moving to either a Mac or I will install Linux.
