No antivirus needed, that is the beauty of a Chromebook. Now when I bought my Chromebook Best Buy threw in a free copy of Micro Trend... it is not designed to run on a Chromebook and will not, it only works on a PC. Best Buy need to understand what they are selling.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for the question. No, the Chrome system has several layers of protection built in, including automatic updates, Sandboxing, data encryption and verified boot. Chromebooks use the principle of "defense in depth" to provide multiple layers of protection, so if any one layer is bypassed, others are still in effect.
