Jump to PostNo. You can use any anti virus you want. Do not have more than one installed at any one time though or it can cause problems.

Ok I will not install more than one. But the Microsoft office 10 was also built-in. When the time is expired I have uninstalled it and installed a cracked version. Yes , I can do all work with this cracked version, but when I download any file like power point from internet, it does not show the actual icon as the power point icon. But I can open it.
There is no problem actually, but the icon is a matter.
