I purchased my first Chromebook in late 2010 and I'm still using the same one in my response to your question. No, you won't need to purchase an anti virus program if you are going to do basic laptop stuff. If you plan on interchanging memory stick from someone's unsure/unsafe computer to your laptop - then you may end up transferring a virus. My memory sticks, computers and other transferable items have always been secured, thus I've never had to purchase a virus program. I had basic knowledge as well in relation to computers, and now when I use our desktop that has Windows 10, I always end up downloading Google chrome because its a much more basic system. Just know this, the Chromebook brain (hub) is the inbound/outbound monitoring system. You and the website you are accessing has to be streamlined through this main hub system. One exception is when you upload something directly from your memory stick (or other source) onto your laptop hard drive. I have received a newer Chromebook 2 as a past gift, but I actually continue to use my original one until it crashes (i'm safely backed up). I'm old school thinking - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. However, in my current interpretation of that is if it ain't broke, don't switch it. Take care.
