“Do I need to purchase anti virus for this chrome book?”

• Chrome OS has built in security. from the tech advisor article - "combination of automatic updates to the system, self-monitoring for any changes to files during boot-up, sandboxing of browser tabs so one can’t affect another, and encryption for sensitive data." And while no device is 100% immune, if you observe best practices, it will be more than enough. You know the drill I'm sure. Don't install dodgy apps or extensions. Don't fall for phishing scams. Use a VPN when using it in public places.

• Chromebooks like this Lenovo Chromebook 3 11, model number 82BA001FUS, come with some in-built antivirus features that are provided by the Google Server, free of charge. The protection provided isn't foolproof.
