[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1015176, member: 52972"] LaRue, I thought Windows 8 came with MSE built into the operating system. Of course you can use a third party anti-virous/anti-malware software, but I would not spend the money unless there was some feature that I just had to have. I think a home PC is pretty safe with the basic security software and common sense about some websites and downloading from the internet or importing files from unknown or unverified sources. Most hackers will skip over a computer with basic security because they just want to cause mischief and not spend a lot of time trying to get around your security measures. The really dangerous hackers are looking for the challenge of hacking into business or government networks that are assumed to be the most secure. In the case of the Chinese, they are constantly wanting to get business and government intelligence from anyone and anywhere they can penetrate their security....They don't care about small fish like Richard or LaRue..:grin: ...Rich [/QUOTE]
