It comes with a 30 day trial of McAfee Live Safe and will then require a subscription. As an IT professional, I recommend not using any snti-virus outside of the Microsoft Defender that is included in Windows 10. No anti-virus is 100% perfect and when you depend on an anti-virus to keep you safe, you do stupid things like opening attachments from strangers or clicking on links in emails or websites and feel you are 100% protected. The hackers trying to get you are creating new malware threats faster than the anti-virus companies can keep up with them. The only way to be safe is to be careful what you do online yourself.
